We want to help facilitate fun and dynamic learning for both students and educators. Let us support you with these diverse opportunities.

Field Trips
The Museum of Science and History is currently under construction and is scheduled to reopen in late November 2009. The Omni Theater, an IMAX dome, remains open during construction and is available for school field trips throughout the Fall 2009 semester. If you want to plan a field trip that is memorable for all of the right reasons, then we can make it easy! Our staff helps prepare you for the big day so it’s enjoyed by all.

To book an Omni Theater field trip, contact Group Services for groups of 15 or more at least two weeks in advance. Reach us by phone at 817-255-9440 or toll free at 888-255-9300, ext. 440. We are happy to take your call between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Outreach Opportunities
During construction (or any time!), let us bring the Museum experience to you through our expanded outreach programs!

Astronomy on Wheels
Let our "Noble Dome" come to you! Our staff will bring the universe to your classroom in the museum's portable planetarium. Travel through space with our Museum staff, unleashing your student's imagination.

Discovery Labs on Wheels

Distance Learning
Now you and your students can connect and interact LIVE with the Museum’s team of experts without leaving your campus! Utilizing interactive distance learning in the classroom, your students can explore science, mathematics and history with curators, staff and special guests. These 50-minute sessions correlate with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and are in partnership with ESC Region XI
Telecommunications Network. Check the connect2texas Web site for our program listings.

Loan Kit Program
Complement your science, social studies, language arts, math, and art curricula with authentic specimens and artifacts from the Museum’s teaching collections.

Professional Development
For professionals who have spent their careers in the classroom, it’s great to find quality training that is both relevant and enjoyable. During construction, we have relocated to the Transition Village, located at the corner of Harley and Montgomery. The Center for Science Learning will be set up in the School Services building. Professional development and Saturday Educator Workshops will take place in this area. Look for information on professional development opportunities in early October.

The School Services staff remains committed to bringing extraordinary learning experiences to your students and meaningful professional development to you. Please feel free to call us with any questions you have about our programs or the transition. We are looking forward to working with you this year.
