The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum offers excellent opportunities for the study of Science, Technology and Design. Recognising the demands of the NI curriculum for locally based materials, the Museum has embarked on an ambitious programme of resource provision. The following is available:
Back to the Future - KS3
Back to the Future is an educational pack which has been developed to provide support and materials for the themes of Cultural Heritage (CH) and Education for Mutual Understanding (EMU) in the Science curriculum at KS3.
It contains:
The 'Back to the Future' experience is based around a visit to the Museum and is enhanced by the preparatory and follow-up activities included in the pack.
Cost: Normal admission charges apply.
Preparation: Students should carry out the preparatory activities in the pack before the visit.
All post-primary schools in Northern Ireland have received one of these packs.
Flight Experience
'The Flight Experience' is an interactive exhibition on aviation, with particular reference to the contribution of Ireland's only, and the world's oldest manufacturer of aircraft, ardier Shorts.
Building Conservation
The Department of Buildings within the Museum can help to support the exploration of science and technology within our Built Heritage. We can offer advice and expertise to individuals whether in a private or professional capacity. We can also provide seminars on specific topics to student, graduate and post graduate groups dealing with Vernacular Building Technology, Materials and Conservation.
