Collections Department at the Museum of Science and Industry
http://www.msichicago.org/collect/colhome.html
This part of the website of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago highlights artifacts from the museum's extensive collection. It is a clean, uncluttered and easy to read page. Teachers and students would find this useful in preparation for a trip to any museum as they explore artifacts and see the curator's closet. In addition, the "What the heck is this?" feature encourages problem solving and creative thinking as students view an artifact of the week and are invited to submit via e-mail a best guess or a funniest guess. Use the site in various units of study as a springboard to Inventions, cultures, art.
