Abstract
In this research we explored various approaches for the design of an outreach program that worked as an educational support tool from a museum to schools. We developed a loan kit that provided teachers with a variety of activities included in a lesson-plan that they could easily insert into their regular curriculum. With the use of tablets for expanding content from textbooks via augmented reality and introducing replicas for hands-on learning along with digital content, we created a lesson that was engaging for the students and also presented the educational content from the museum. Furthermore, a session with a professor from the museum was also included as part of the lesson. In this section, the students had the opportunity to speak directly with an expert from the museum. "The human body and its movement" loan kit was developed and tested in three schools from Miyazaki Prefecture, the process of its production and our findings from the tests are presented in this document.
