Bakken Museum

Field Trip Workshops and Guided Tours (grades 1-6)

The Bakken Museum supports the teaching of electricity and magnetism with field trips that engage students in hands-on inquiry based learning.  The museum strives to ensure a fun and educational environment so all students feel at ease to explore science through investigation.  Age appropriate workshops incorporate historical perspectives and interactive discussions, and are designed to meet state and federal standards.  Each student leaves with a project to take home so they can continue to experiment even after the field trip is over and share what they learned with their families.
