When you book an Outreach Program, we will send a museum educator and all of the supplies for the program. We will travel a 50-mile radius from the St. Augustine Lighthouse for Outreach programs.

Grades 3-5

Bring the St. Augustine Lighthouse into your classroom with interactive outreach programs that discuss the history of the St. Augustine Lighthouse, the technology we employ here, and the work our LAMP archaeologists do. Students will learn a brief history of lighthouses, the purpose of lighthouses along our coastlines, and how a lighthouse functions. They will learn how light is reflected and refracted by watching a fifteen minute video about the Fresnel lens featuring demonstrations of how a Fresnel lens works. Students will also learn the history of the St. Augustine Light Station in relation to the nation's other lighthouses. (This program requires a blank wall or a screen for showing a PowerPoint presentation.) Cost: $4 per student.
