Leveraging the potential of Tutankhamun

"As outlined by Carol Parssinen, Senior Vice President at The Franklin Institute's Center for Innovation, The King Tut educational initiative takes a two-pronged approach to leveraging the exhibit's educational potential. Tut- related curriculum materials tailored for students in grades K-4, 5-8 and 9-12 have been made available to hundreds of teachers in the Philadelphia area. The initiative also has enabled more than 3,000 students from underserved communities to make field trips to view 'Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.' A link on The Franklin Institute's Web site invites educators to prepare for field trips as an extension of their classroom curriculum: http://www2.fi.edu/programs/ftp07/index2.html
Printed in full color and lavishly illustrated, the curriculum guides present a wealth of Tut-related scientific information."
