In this premier theater environment your students can experience beyond life-size and incredibly close up views of the ocean, space, amazing animals and even time-travel right from their seats. Our collection of 2D and 3D � lms is sure to inspire discussion, create connections and bring learning to life! Documentary � lms run approximately 40-50 minutes.

IN MUSEUM PROGRAMSThe Putnam Education department’s approach to curricula is informed by national, Iowa and Illinois state standards. We strive to assist and support our community teachers, parents and school administration with the task of helping students meet and/or exceed curriculum standards and benchmarks. For many educators and parents it is a daunting task to complete today’s educational requirements, all while trying to present material in a manner that will resonate with students and their various learning styles. Partner with the Putnam to access tools to enhance the learning of your students. As an area leader in non-formal education the Putnam In Museum Programs encourage hands-on experiences, utilization of technology, student-centered learning and an overall dynamic experience!

The time of an educator is precious. Therefore we have listed the state standards for our In Museum and Outreach Programs below the program description.

Films from the VaultAdditional � lms may be selected from the Giant Screen Digital Library for groups of 50 or more. Scheduling these � lms is based onavailability of the theater. Additional � lm library o� erings may include:

NATIONAL PARKS ADVENTURE 3D Opening February 12, 2016The power of America’s national parks is undeniable. Millions have packed up the family to hike through impossibly lush forests, to gaze upon towering cli� s and deep-plunging canyons, to witness the breathtaking arcs of natural history, and, most of all, to share moments of wonder amid the protected treasures of this land.

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Robert Redford, National Parks Adventure 3D takes audiences on the ultimate o� -trail adventure into the nation’s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness. Immersive 3D cinematography takes viewers soaring over red rock canyons, hurtling up craggy mountain peaks and into other-worldly realms found within America’s most legendary outdoor playgrounds, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, and Arches. Celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the national parks with world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker, adventure photographer Max Lowe and artist Rachel Pohl as they hike, climb and explore their way across America’s majestic parks in an action-packed expedition that will inspire the adventurer in us all.

MUMMIES: Secrets of the Pharaohs 3DPart historic journey and part forensic adventure, Mummies: Secrets of thePharaohs follows researchers and explorers as they piece together the archeological and genetic clues of Egyptian mummies. These relics of the past create a window into the fascinating and mysterious world of the pharaohs. In addition to increasing our understanding of the culture, religion, medicine, and daily life of the Egyptians thousands of years ago, scientists today are reconstructing mummy DNA to gain insight into modern human genetics and to advance medical treatments. To unwrap the secrets of the pharaohs is to perhaps glimpse the future of our own civilization.

Produced in association with the Dome Theater Alliance and the Franklin Institute, Mummies was selected as the o� cial companion 3D experience for the global blockbuster exhibition, Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. In just six months the � lm shattered box o� ce records at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia with over 350,000 viewers. Mummies was nominated for three Giant Screen Cinema Association awards including Best Film, Best Film for Lifelong Learning and Best Cinematography.

Dig into HISTORY Hands-On SCIENCE

Science CenterVisit the Putnam with your students and take a look at the power of hands-on experiences. Our Science Center features more than 45 interactives with a twist: students who encounter the new center will not only experience science, technology, engineering, and math in action. They will learn HOW these concepts connect to careers, how STEM makes the world a better place and how THEY can be part of our STEM future.

The Putnam’s Science Center covers over 10,000 square feet of engaging hands-on learning experiences . Our “How Things Work” section immerses visitors in concepts such as simple machines, electricity, magnets, light, sound and much more. The “Innovation” section features architecture structure and design, engineering, � lm and music, aerospace and robotics. Round out these experiences with a kinetic sculpture demonstrating a Sine Wave in the Grand Lobby and our Dino Dig outside - all connected to STEM careers and educational opportunities!

Black Earth/Big RiverExplore wetlands, woodlands, prairies and your own backyard. Come face-to-face with live Mississippi River � sh in our 718 gallonaquarium. Discover how invasive species are threatening localecosystems and what you can do to preserve your watershed.See the area’s natural habitats as you’ve never seen them before.

Hall of MammalsExplore the world of mammals. From the familiar cottontail in your backyard to the strange ant-eating Pangolin of southeast Asia and the polar bears of the Arctic Circle, mammals are everywhere. They come in all shapes and sizes. Learn how these animals have adapted to survive under extreme conditions and the perils that they face today. Where else can you travel from your backyard to the dusty plains of Africa and the ice-covered waters of the Arctic in just a few steps?

River, Prairie, PeopleTravel through time along the Mississippi River. Explore the lifestyle of the earliest Quad City residents, the American Indians. Continue your journey through the settling of the Quad Cities area and discover the roots of the Civil War time. See Bix Beiderbecke’s coronet while you listen to period jazz. Learn how immigrants from all over the world have made the Quad Cities their home.

Unearthing Ancient EgyptNo trip to the Putnam is complete without visiting our most iconic gallery, home of our two mummies. Step into an ancient Egyptian tomb, where you will learn how the people lived and what was required for a pleasant afterlife. Visit the computer interactive station to explore the mummies, inside and out, through the magic of CT imagery. Find out how forensic anthropologists reconstruct facial features. Take in this amazing collection of authentic Egyptian treasures.

The Discovery of King TutThe Discovery of King Tut will give visitors an educational experience that is, in some ways, more immersive than seeing the actual tomb relics in Egypt. Created over 5 years under the direction of Egyptologists, the exhibit includes hundreds of painstakingly crafted reproductions of artifacts from Tut’s tomb made by Egyptian artisans. These exact recreations of three tomb chambers a� ord students the opportunity one could not have even if visiting Egypt - the opportunity to experience what Howard Carter saw when he � rst entered the tomb.

The Discovery of King Tut includes an individually customizable, complimentary audio tour with both student and adult versions. A multi-disciplinary exhibit, Tut (which has been viewed by more than 5 million people in Europe and which The Wall Street Journal called “beautiful, fascinating, and the next best thing to seeing the originals in their Egyptian home”) will provide your students with valuable insights into this important chapter of history while also enabling them to learn how modern scienti� c techniques are yielding new discoveries about the boy king and ancient Egyptian culture.

Ocean ExperienceDesigned especially for younger children, the Ocean Experience is a permanent installation featuring di� erent underwater habitats from kelp forests to coral reefs to tidal pools to deep seas! Immersive and interactive, Ocean Experience is all about hands-on learning for our youngest visitors!
