all chaperones supervise and stay with their group during the entire visit.
We reserve the right to shorten your group’s visit due to behavior issues that
impact other guests or museum property.
PLAN YOUR FIELD TRIP
Planning a field trip at Cranbrook Institute of Science is easy. We offer programs at our
beautiful Bloomfield Hills museum, at your school or virtually through videoconferencing.
In order to make the registration
process as easy as possible, USE
THE PLANNING WORKSHEET
for taking notes and exploring
options.
FIELD TRIPS PLAY AN IMPORT-
ANT ROLE FOR STUDENTS AND
EDUCATORS. A new learning
environment provides the
opportunity to build team and
small group skills and engage
students on an intellectual,
social and physical level.
By integrating classroom learning
with physical objects and hands-
on experiences, STUDENTS HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS and
how they connect to the world
around them.

the many ways that we use water with
this interactive program that’s bound
to make a splash.
WAVES AND ENERGY – NEW
GRADES
6 | 7 | 8
Students will gain a greater under-
standing for where our energy comes
from and how it travels to Earth.
Working in pairs, they manipulate
a pendulum to model a wave and
discuss various phenomena that deal
with waves and energy. Students will
go home with a special pair of glasses
that allow them to see light waves
anywhere they go.
MATTER AND ENERGY
GRADES
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
Learn how scientists classify common
materials with emphasis on water,
and then explore “weird” substances
that blur the boundaries between
states of matter. Apply light, heat,
electricity and other forms of energy
to matter and observe the results. We
finish with a BANG when we change
chemical potential energy into kinetic
energy!
SIMPLE MACHINES

THE STORY OF US
The Story of Us showcases the very best
of the Institute’s nationally-regarded
anthropology collection and offers an
immersion experience unprecedented
at Cranbrook. Visitors will experience
the exhibition with the help of a virtual
holographic-like personal guide and use
individual touch-screen interfaces to
learn more about objects that interest
them.
LIFE CHANGES OVER TIME
Come face to face with a full-sized
Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton cast and ex-
amines natural selection and evolution
by exploring the question “Are birds the
descendants of dinosaurs?”
ICE AGES COME AND GO
This exhibit presents climatic varia-
tions that have buried Michigan under
ice over and over again. Hands-on
interactives and visual diagrams help
visitors explore issues like seasons, heat
distribution and how heat travels across
the globe.
MASTODONS DID NOT SURVIVE
This exhibit examines extinction through
the example of the mastodon, which
used to be plentiful in Michigan during
the last ice age.
BY NATIVE HANDS
The rich culture of Great Lakes native
peoples reflects a complex connection
between objects, practices and the
environment.
READING OBJECTS
Every object—a pair of shoes, a necklace,
a flag—holds different meanings for
different people, and how we decode ob-
jects varies depending on culture, previ-
ous experience and prior knowledge.
WOODLANDS DEN
Retained as originally created, these
dioramas of Michigan plant associa-
tions capture both a reminder of the
Institute’s past and a glimpse of habitats
increasingly threatened throughout the
state.
THE MOTION GALLERY
Lose your fear of physics with hands-
on experiments that demonstrate the
basic yet profound concepts of matter
in motion.
CRANBROOK OBSERVATORY
Three new telescopes, architectural
changes in the viewing space, a new
dome, and compatibility with the plane-
tarium offer an astronomical experience
unparalleled anywhere in the Midwest.
The Observatory is open weekends
throughout the year.
EVERY ROCK HAS A STORY
Was Michigan once located in the
tropics? Will California crumble into the
Pacific Ocean? The earth is constantly
changing right under your feet and the
exciting results range from earthquakes
and volcanoes to granite and diamonds.
ASTRONOMY GALLERY
The Astronomy Gallery includes
ViewSpace, a self-updating exhibit from
the Space Telescope Science Institute.
ACHESON PLANETARIUM
The planetarium at Cranbrook Institute
of Science is an intimate theater that
allows you to explore and experience
the universe. Preregistration required
for field trips.
MINERAL STUDY GALLERY
Cranbrook founder George Booth start-
ed this mineral collection in 1926 with
only a few hundred specimens. Since
then, it has grown to more than 11,000
specimens.
PERMANENT GALLERIES & INSTALLATIONS
Cranbrook Institute of Science houses eleven permanent galleries that cover topics related to
anthropology, astronomy, ecosystems, earth science, fluid earth, life science and physical
science. Include a stop to one or many of our galleries as part of your field trip and help
students see the interconnections with everything around them.
ACHESON LIGHT LAB
Light Lab, an ingeniously subtle science
lesson, is a space designed to encourage
curiosity.
ICE AGE SURVIVORS
Ice Age Survivors focuses on large
animals or megafauna that survived the
last pulse of the Late Quaternary extinc-
tions in North America that occurred
between 11,500 and 10,000 radiocarbon
years ago.
WATER IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE
See the power of water on the bed of
an ancient sea, make a storm, and work
with an interactive kiosk to explore
freshwater issues.
THE ERB FAMILY SCIENCE GARDEN
Featuring a dynamic garden of Michigan
native plants that change with the sea-
sons and a water feature highlighting
water in its vapor, liquid and solid states,
the Erb Garden is open seasonally.

CHANGING EXHIBITIONS
This exhibition brings to life the lost and forgotten technology and
inventions that set the Roman Empire apart from the rest of the
world and which continue to influence us to this day. By reconstructing
ancient Roman technology using the same materials and techniques
that the Romans used thousands of years ago we can learn so much
that would not have been possible solely by studying archaeological
finds and original texts.
A unique tree in a lush tropical environment. A seed so precious it
was used as money. A spicy drink and a sweet snack. A heavenly
craving and a sublime pleasure. Chocolate is all this… and much more.
Explore the relationship between human culture and this rainforest
treasure in Chocolate.
CHOCOLATE September 23, 2017 - January 7, 2018
ANCIENT ROME: AGE OF THE CAESARS
February 3 - July 3, 2018
Chocolate and its national tour were
developed by The Field Museum, Chicago.
