Traveling education trunks are a great resource for teachers. Developed with different grade levels in mind, most trunks contain books, videos, and hands-on materials such as hides, skulls, clothing and historical items. Many include a Teacher's Guide to help incorporate specific activities into your existing lesson plans. Contact the individual listed for more information and to check for availability. That person will arrange for shipping the trunk, usually a tub or footlocker, directly to your school or a local FWP office for pickup.
