Centered on the Maritime Museum, rangers engage students by exploring the colorful sea-themed murals inside the building, as well as the architectural and geometric elements on the exterior that make it look like a ship. Students will then use their imagination to draw a building with an exterior design that matches the interior function (i.e. an ice cream shop shaped like an ice cream cone). This lesson includes pre and post-visit activities for the classroom.
