John E. Conner Museum Lesson Plans

These lesson plans were created by graduate students and designed to be used for a school visit to the John E. Conner Museum at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.  The lessons are aligned with 5th grade science TEKS but can be scaled up or down to other grade levels.  A pre-visit activity, museum visit activity, and post-visit activity is included in each lesson.  Contact the staff at the Conner Museum to arrange a visit and tour.
