Connect Your Child With History
Scavenger Hunts
|
Explore our local history by exploring downtown Los Alamos with a thematic scavenger hunt from the Los Alamos History Museum. These outdoor hunts focus on a specific era of our local history and encourage you to make connections between the past and present. Two levels of each hunt are available: one for young learners and one for teens and adults.
Are you homeschooling? Teacher guides are available on request, with discussion questions for before and after the hunt as well as an answer key. |
