Inside the box, you’ll find an audio player, along with artifacts and replicas. When you place the objects on the top of the box, an audio response will play. Over the period of a week, you can incorporate the box into your social studies curriculum and share it among your grade level.

• Audio box with replicas and real artifacts
• Supplemental activities and a standard-based lesson plan
• Easy-to-clean objects with instructions and materials for disinfecting between use in each classroom
• Pre-recorded, 30-minute guided tour of the History Center’s permanent exhibitions that can be incorporated into your social studies lesson before or after the Museum in a Box experience
