Resources for Learning (RFL), an innovative online catalog of educational content for teachers and students developed by the American Museum of Natural History, has received the Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE) – the first time a natural history museum has won this coveted honor. The award, sponsored by the journal Science, recognizes outstanding, free online educational materials that enrich science learning. The Museum is a long-time leader in science education, and has pioneered a number of programs that leverage the unparalleled quality and depth of the institution’s scientific resources: a faculty of more than 200 active scientists, one of the world’s most extensive physical collections, and innovative exhibitions that make science a meaningful and transformative experience for schoolchildren and the broader public alike.
