Journeys and
Transformations - Lesson Plans
These lesson plans
were developed to support the
Journeys and
Transformations section of this site, which presents the environments of
BC: mountains, forests, waters, grasslands and cities. In each environment,
there are topics relating to natural and human histories, including accounts
provided by First Nations. These separate regions and topics are
interconnected in many ways and students are encouraged to investigate these
links and relationships. Although presented under separate headings, the land
and all the life forms on it are connected.

Self-Conducted
Tours/Activity Sheets
Each year hundreds
of school classes visit the museum on self-conducted tours of the museum.
British Columbia schools can receive complimentary admission to the Royal BC
Museum exhibits, so many teachers use the museum exhibits as a learning
resource for their class. Gallery activity sheets are available upon request.
These activity sheets challenge students to search through the galleries for
answers to questions on the history and biology of British Columbia. Activity
sheets are available for each of the permanent galleries, Living Land,
Living Sea, the First People's Gallery and Modern History
Gallery.
Self-conducted tours must be
pre-booked at least two business days in advance and must have an
adult/student supervisory ratio of 1 to 5.

Teachers receive
complimentary admission to preview the galleries in order to do preparatory
work for pre-booked class visits. These visits must also be pre-booked two
business days in advance.
Teachers coming for previews can

contain over one hundred articles by museum staff on subjects ranging from
bats and trees to Captain James Cook.
National Geographic IMAX Theatre

Geographic Theatre at the Royal BC Museum runs a variety of movies many of
