Educator Discovery Bins from The Morton Arboretum
Complete the registration form below in order to request/reserve one of our 8 teacher checkout bins. Each bin contains materials, tools, and lessons to bring the Next Generation Science Standards alive in your classroom. Bins are organized by grade-level and are aligned with our current field trip offerings. Reserve a bin before or after your trip to extend your students' learning. These are different than the IDNR loaning trunks. For details concerning IDNR trunk availability, contact Megan Kuhl-Horbin at mkuhl-horbin@mortonar.org
PLEASE NOTE: Each bin can be reserved for no more than 2 weeks at a time. Educators who borrow the materials are responsible for picking up and dropping off the bin. Teachers who borrow the materials are also responsible for returning all of the items and may be asked to replace lost of missing items.
We are instituting contactless pick-up and drop-off. For any questions or concerns, please contact Lauren Incrocci (lincrocci@mortonarb.org) or Megan Kuhl-Horbin (mkuhl-horbin@mortonarb.org). Discovery bins are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please allow up to 7 days to process your request and to coordinate and confirm pick-up logistics; registrations are checked and processed on Tuesdays.
