Harris
Educational Loan Program
Welcome
to the Harris Loan Collection at Ryerson Woods
Ryerson
Woods
is now a satellite lending site for The Field Museum’s Harris
Educational Loan Program. The Harris Loan program is an
incredible educational resource for your classroom or home, and
now you can borrow materials right here in Lake County instead of
having to go downtown.
The
Harris Loan Program at Ryerson Woods offers two types of media:
Exhibit Cases and Experience Boxes
|
Exhibit Cases
We
have over 20 Exhibit Case dioramas (24”
high, 22” wide, and 7” deep) available that show
regional plants and animals in natural settings. A pullout
label on the side of each case has basic information.

|
|
Experience
Boxes
We
cover more than 20 different topics with
these portable collections of artifacts, replicas, specimens
and many other resources to provide a broad variety of learning
experiences. The experience box topics cover three categories–culture,
biology and earth science. |
