As all teachers know, students each have different methods of learning.  Some are visual learners,  others auditory, and still others tactile learners. The Raleigh City Museum offers experiences for all types of learners.  Some exhibits incite optical stimulation with the use of color and organization. Other exhibits allow students to listen to recorded accounts of a participant's experiences.  The Raleigh City Museum offers a myriad of learning opportunities for all students, young and not-so-young.  So teachers, put on your walking shoes, because we are taking a trip!! 

At the Raleigh City Museum, students are able to make a journey through time and watch the city grow from just a few acres to the vast acreage Raleigh now claims.  Raleigh's population has continued to boom throughout the centuries.  At the Raleigh City Museum, students are able to find their houses on a map and determine how long their streets or neighborhoods have been a part of Raleigh.  They are able to view panoramas of historic Raleigh and also learn about the struggles faced by African-Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.

Use the following links to find interesting and fun activities for your students before, during and after your trip to the Museum.  For more fun activities, check out our Kid Pages.  Here you will find more fun activities, including A Fly on the Wall and Go Figure--Math.  Great discussion topics can be found on our Parent Pages, including Where am I?
