The Museum of the Missouri Institute of Natural Science strives to provide diverse educational opportunities for patrons of all ages, from students in schools in and around Springfield to homeschoolers, adults and seniors from Missouri and other states.

While we strive to make our exhibits exciting and interesting, we are also working on making resources available to teachers that focus on the National Science Education Standards as outlined by the National Research Council. We encourage you to browse our website and review the educational materials we have. If you would like to see materials that are specific to the needs of your students, please contact us and we'd be happy to discuss them with you.
