About Step Into History

Overview: 20th Century American History (day tour) for Grades 8-12. Learn U.S. History while visiting five different stations aboard this historic aircraft carrier.
This day program is based on the 11th grade California Standards and uses the ship as a platform for teaching various aspects of 20th century U.S. and World History in our unique venue. We provide you with advance lesson plans in your classroom prior to your day on the USS Hornet. Students board the ship in the morning, are provided workbooks, split into groups and rotate through five learning stations staffed by a Hornet Educator. You and your class are invited to experience history like never before, using our ship locations, artifacts, multi-media presentations, and historic film footage.
