My Science Box

This megabox contains teaching boxes created by the fabulous teachers of the Exploratorium Teachers Institute. What is a teaching box? It generally takes the form of a cardboard box in a science teacher's classroom or garage. Inside you will find the collected materials, lesson plans, background information and ideas needed to teach a set of lessons on a certain topic. Click here to learn more about teaching boxes. Teachers enrolled in the Exploratorium's summer teacher institute spend part of their day assembling a teaching box with the help of mentor teachers and Exploaratorium staff. Although physical boxes don't fit easily on a website, the ideas are here for everyone to enjoy!
