Educational materials
For teachers by teachers
This page gives access to working material for schools, which have been prepared by our partner teachers. The material enables pupils to explore the Museum independently. The worksheets can be downloaded and used free of charge.
Did you develop your own material in preparation for a visit to the Museum für Naturkunde and would like to make it available for other teachers? Feel free to send it to us!
