Curriculum
information. While the Museum offers programs for first grade through
college, we’ve developed our standard tour most effectively for grades
2nd to 5th. A Museum tour may be correlated to many science and social
studies TEKS objectives and national science standards. Consult your
district curriculum coordinator or contact the Museum for more
