The Museum of Science's Educator Resource Center (ERC), based in Boston, MA, offers this website providing educators with "recommended and institutional Museum materials, all mapped to national and state standards, in order to increase the quality of science, technology, and engineering education." The collection includes a wealth of curriculum materials and science project resources focused specifically on engineering and technology education. Each lesson is evaluated in terms of usability, teacher support, and standards compliance. These evaluations and annotated comments from the evaluator provide insights into how useful the resource might prove in various learning environments. Visitors can search the collection using a variety of search criteria. Teachers in the Boston area can also use the online calendar of events to plan a field trip to the Museum of Science.
