Discovery Cases

NOW SHOWING.... Insects, Spiders, Venomous beasties, Sea Life, Aboriginal technologies, Fossils, Fossil fuels, and Meteorite showers in a classroom near you!

Experience your very own voyage of discovery from the South Australian Museum.

Invite the South Australian Museum to your classroom and get up close and personal with a selection of specimans which rarely leave the South Australian Museum. The experience is "hands on" with students able to remove and touch many of the specimans in the cases.

Each of the Discovery Cases has a seperate theme, supported by hardcopy and/or online resource materials for a unique learning experience.

Now available, this contemporary and innovative project has been initiated to provide a further comprehensive educational access to the museum's extensive collections. Over time the number of Discovery Cases will increase to cover additional themes.

Loans are generally one week but can be negotiated for longer periods.

The inaugural Discovery Cases have been proudly sponsored by McDonald's Australia whom we thank for their support on this project.
