Classroom Resources

Don't have the time or resources for a field trip? Let PPHM bring the museum to your classroom! We have classroom experiences to enhance any lesson including six outreach trunks loaded with touchable artifacts, photos, and books. PPHM also offers interactive video conferencing through Region 16 and CILC, so even if you are far away, you can still learn about Panhandle history.

Take Our Museum to Your Classroom

Educational trunks are loaded with touchable artifacts, photographs, books, and a teacher’s guide.

Trunks are loaned out for four days on a first-call, first-served basis. Teachers are responsible for picking up the trunk before 5 p.m. on Friday and returning the trunks no later than 5 p.m. the following Thursday. The trunk is portable, fitting in most vehicles. The teacher who receives the trunk is responsible for pickup and return and the care of the trunk's contents.

The truck rental is $25 for four school days and can be paid for on pick-up or return.

TRUNK INTERPRETER
A trained interpreter can be scheduled to come into the classroom and give kids an energetic, first-hand history lesson. An interpreter-led program lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the group.

If a trunk interpreter is booked, each program is $20, and the maximum audience size per presentation is 30 students. A transportation fee of 35 cents per mile will be charged outside of Amarillo or Canyon ISD.

Reservations must be made two weeks in advance, and interpreters should be booked at the same time as the trunk. To reserve a date and time for your class, call the Education Department at (806) 651-2249 or email education@pphm.wtamu.edu
