Each backpack can be used by 3-5 students. Backpacks are picked up and returned to the blue bins on Level 2. Please ask staff on Level 2, if you can not locate the backpacks.

The Mathpacks: Magnifying Cells have a tag with a magnifying glass on the handle. Please make sure you have the correct backpacks. Student data sheets are not in the backpack. Print out one copy of each activity for each group to bring to the museum.

Review this section with your students and ask each chaperone to begin with a review of backpack contents at the beginning of the MathPacks section of your field trip.
