MOSH Online Teacher's Guide (2007-2008)
Educational Philosophy
The Museum of Science and History strives
to increase the knowledge and understanding of the natural environment
and history of Jacksonville as well as Northeast Florida. We focus
on creating an awareness and appreciation of science and history
through quality programs that stimulate and inspire learning in
all visitors.
How To Make a Program Reservation
School programs are normally offered Monday
through Friday, at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00.
MOSH programs are approximately 45 minutes
long. You may make a reservation by calling our reservationist
at (904) 396-7062 ext. 226, Monday through Friday between the hours
of 8:30am-5:00pm. A confirmation packet and additional information
about your program will be mailed to you one-two months prior to

Please make the reservationist aware of
any special needs you may have at the time you are making the reservation.
Also, please have your chosen programs, program dates and times,
