Discovery Box

Welcome to the Discovery Box reference page.
​This box has been provide 
 to all youth organizations including schools in the Vernon Area. 
This educational training aid was developed by the volunteers at the museum and in conjunction with SD22, GVMA and Carly Hills.
The cost of creating this box was approximately $1500 in materials, we ask that you watch your students and ensure that they handle items with care.
100% of all funding for the Discovery Box is from donations. 
 
While some of these documents are in the box, we have created this page as a reference resource for educators.
