Curious is a STEAM museum that promotes classroom content engagement, learning and higher level thinking. It integrates the sciences and arts in exhibits and in field trips to promote important creative thinking skills.
EXHIBITS
The Curious Museum is designed with schools and grade-level TEKS in mind. Each exhibit has specific science or math TEKS that it meets for a number of grade levels. The categories of TEKS covered in the museum exhibits are: forces and motion, electricity and magnetism, light and color, Earth and space, changes in Earth landforms, chemistry of smell, and geometry.
CLASSROOM
Each of the classroom activities are designed to reinforce the exhibits’ TEKS-based science or math learning. These activities are integrated with art thinking skills in order to promote standards-based content engagement, higher level thinking, and, ultimately, retention.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.
– Albert Einstein
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
