The MOAS offers a diverse and enriching educational experience for students. As Central Florida’s premier art, science, and history museum, it provides an opportunity for students to engage with an array of exhibits spanning various disciplines.
Teachers planning a field trip can expect their students to explore galleries featuring fine art, American and international decorative arts, pre-Columbian artifacts, and a significant collection of Cuban art. The museum also houses the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum, an interactive space where students can engage with hands-on science exhibits that promote exploration and discovery.
MOAS offers educational programs aligned with art, science, and social studies curriculum standards. These programs include guided tours led by knowledgeable docents, hands-on workshops, and interactive activities designed to enhance critical thinking and creativity. Students can participate in demonstrations, art-making sessions, and educational presentations tailored to various grade levels.
The museum also features the Lohman Planetarium, where students can embark on journeys through the cosmos and learn about astronomy and space science. Planetarium shows can complement classroom studies in earth and space sciences.
Teachers can access educational resources such as lesson plans and activity guides to integrate the museum experience into their curricula. Professional development opportunities may also be available to help educators incorporate museum content into their teaching strategies.
A field trip to the Museum of Arts and Sciences provides students with a multifaceted educational experience that fosters appreciation for the arts, sciences, and humanities, enriching their understanding of the world.
