My Field Trip to theMuseum of Science and Industry

Social Narrative:

I am going to the Museum of Science and Industry

for a field trip.

On my field trip, I will explore the Museum.

I will learn new things. I will have fun.

It may be loud in here. Everyone is excited!

Lots of kids come here for field trips. I’ll start my day in the Group Center

with many other students.

Museum workers are friendly and fun! They can answer my questions.

They can also help me if I get lost.

Lots of people work at this Museum. They wear lab coats, bright shirts

and name tags.

I can get a Museum map in the Group Center. This map will show me where everything is in the Museum.

I will leave my lunch bag in the Group Center. This is where I will

come back to eat lunch today.

When I’m in the Museum, I will stay with my adult.

In the Museum, it’s important to stay safe. These people work here.

They are here to help.

Some of the exhibits are loud but I’ll hear lots of people talking.

There are loud noises in the Museum sometimes.

The staircases all have different colors. You can see those

on the map.

In the Museum, I can use elevators, escalators or stairs to move around.

The Museum is very big with many things to see.

I may see trains, planes or old cars.

The Coal Mine’s whistle is very loud. It’s OK to cover your ears when

you hear it.

I may see a real Coal Mine!

The baby chicks are very cute but I can’t touch them. The chicks are very

happy in their Museum home.

I may see baby chicks.

I won’t be scared. This tornado is safe.

It was made for the Museum.

I may see a giant tornado in Science Storms!

The coil is very loud when it goes off!

There is also a Tesla coil on the ceiling in Science Storms.

I’ll see lightning bolts come from the Tesla coil.

Sometimes, exhibits change. It’s fun to see new things!

They can take me to the Information Desk to find out where

there is a quiet place for me.

If I need to find a quiet space today, I can ask my adult.

It’s OK to save some exhibits for another day.

I’ll see so much today, but the Museum is big. I won’t be able to

see everything!

I can’t wait to visit this Museum again.

When I visit the Museum of Science and Industry, I will explore many

exhibits and learn a lot about science.
