Exploring Toys is a hands-on experience for students to work as designers and collaborators as they create their own exhibition with toys from the collection.
Program overview
Imagine working in a museum! We ask students to bring their ideas, teamwork and toy expertise to work with real museum collections and create their very own exhibition. This hands-on experience will see your students as problem-solvers, designers, collaborators and critical thinkers. Students classify and investigate toys by observing and describing their physical properties.
In small teams, students will:
engage in teamwork through role play to investigate museum practices
compare different observable properties such as materials, age, colour, texture, flexibility
use real museum objects to develop a (mini) museum exhibition
present and describe their exhibition to the group.
Exploring Toys complements the Science and HASS learning areas of the Australian Curriculum.
