Abstract	The objects collected and displayed by museums may be connected with famous people, made by exceptional artists, natural specimens, or simple ordinary things that show what everyday life was like for most people. All these objects offer unique ways to learn about life in the United States and the world. In 1996 the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), the world's largest museum complex and research center, celebrated its 150th birthday. This teaching unit encourages students to develop observational and reasoning skills by taking a close look at objects, such as those found in the Smithsonian. By thinking about what they themselves collect, students may understand the unique storytelling power of objects. A Take-Home Student Page, presented in English and Spanish, reproducible activity pages, and a list of resources are included. (MM)
