Title: Tech Trek: Flash forward to problem-based science Design your own museum! This article describes an interdisciplinary unit where students create their own prehistoric museum by researching the time periods and flora and fauna for those periods. Then they design displays and even make a 1/3 scale replica of a dinosaur skeleton. This would be fantastic for a science club (and classes where time permits with age appropriate modifications) of any age. And it could be adapted to other topics than dinosaurs, as well.
