Educational
Opportunities
On
Board Classes
Your
students will have the opportunity to take a class in one of several
subject areas on board the New
Jersey.
Taught by certified teachers and meeting national and state
curriculum standards, these classes allow children to experience
first hand what they have learned in their text books. Our
science/math classes are hands-on, encouraging students to
experiment with the concepts they've
learned, while our history/language arts
classes involve handling artifacts and speaking to those who have
experienced the era studied. For an additional $3 per student,
minimum of 20 students, your visit On Board can include one or more
educational classes.
Outreach
Programs
The
Battleship New Jersey's
Education Outreach Program brings a piece of the
ship's
history to your classroom. Students will be engaged and entertained
while
studying artifacts, primary source documents, and other hands-on
activities. Teachers may choose from cross-curricular classes which
encompass math, science, history, art, social studies, technology,
and language arts and are aligned with state core curriculum
standards. The cost of the 45 minute class is $125 for up to 35
students plus mileage if outside a fifty mile radius of the ship.
Relive
history through the eyes of the men and women who served this
great
nation. In this 90-minute program, your students will have the
opportunity to conduct an exercise in oral history with a veteran of
America's military forces. A Power Point Presentation will be used
for students to discover the rich history of the Battleship New
Jersey. Through
interpretation of artifacts and primary source documents, students
will evaluate the effectiveness of the Battleship New Jersey in
history. Students
will interact with the presenters and one lucky student will get
to
dress
in navy uniform!
Short video clips of oral histories from those who served will
enhance the educational experience, as well as clips of the
battleship's 16" guns in action. Cost is $300 for a ninety
minute session plus mileage if outside a fifty mile radius of the
ship.
Distance
Learning Programs
Through
the advent of video conferencing, your students can "visit"
the
Battleship New Jersey while learning about topics which correlate to
your curriculum. This interactive experience is supplemented by
virtual reality demonstrations, oral history video clips, and
artifacts which enhance the objectives of the lesson. The cost of
this class is $125 ($80 if you are a member of the Garden State
Distance Learning Consortium).
Traveling
Trunk Program
World
War II era canvass sea bags are filled with educational resources
which can be utilized in your classroom. Artifacts, primary source
documents, and lesson plans for a two-week period are at your
disposal and are organized around specific topics in the
battleship's
60 year history. Teachers may both
pick up and drop off the bag for a two-week period, or it may be
shipped ground UPS for an additional fee. Bags include information
on WWII, Korea/Cold War, Vietnam, and the Beirut Crisis. A $200
refundable deposit is required. The cost of the trunk is $75.
