In-School Programs
We currently offer an in-school visit that includes a book reading and STEM activity. Students make paper helicopters and measure data from dropping them onto a target. We demonstrate the difference between precision and accuracy while connecting the activity with our Battleship. The program is intended for a 3rd grade level classroom. See our brochure page on this activity here: Third Grade In-School S.T.E.M. Activity
Virtual Tours
If you are unable to bring your class for a visit to the ship, you can connect with the Battleship Missouri Memorial through video teleconferencing. Bring your school on a virtual tour and listen to a presentation about the history (with emphasis on WWII) of this great battleship, followed by questions and answers about the ship. Contact us today and take advantage of this potentially long-distance opportunity.
