AL Course of Study Standards (PDF)
Field Trips at Children’s Hands-On Museum are AWESOME!
Our COMMON CORE STANDARDS and ALABAMA COURSE of STUDY Curriculum Based Field Trips are the most exciting in the state! Now in our 38th year, CHOM has long had close ties to education. We continue to create and develop the most innovative field trips that your students will ever have a chance to experience. Our field trips are revised annually to ensure that all remain exciting and have AL C.O.S. and Common Core Correlations. Highly qualified educators hands-on exhibits, a separate field trip classroom level and a large demonstration area mean students participate in true hands-on learning experiences not available in a traditional classroom setting!
