for Primary and Secondary Schools. Museums today can offer exciting forms of collaboration between teachers, museums curators and education officers to provide children with outstanding educational experiences. Two programmes, shot around Britain, show excellent examples of this work in practice - one focusing on primary schools, the other on secondary. Projects for primary children always involve active learning. Work for secondary pupils is more concerned with museum collections and practical problem solving. Both programmes demonstrate the importance of preparation and follow-up work.
