Photos were taken by teachers

On Friday, the 6th graders at my school went to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.

The two areas I wrote about on a reflection worksheet were an exhibit called “RACE: Are We So Different” and the Nature Research Center.

I learned that on March 23, 2003, there were meteoroids that fell in Chicago. Another thing I learned was that the most recent meteorite seen falling in NC was in 1874 and it was called “Castalia”.

In the exhibit “RACE: Are We So Different”, one of the posters I looked at was called “Dolo Swope”. I was wondering why they had made the poster so colorful. Another poster was a picture of a person and had a yellow outline on some of the picture. I don’t know what it was called but I was wondering why they had outlined the photo in yellow.

We also went to a dinosaur exhibit, a water exhibit, and other animal exhibits.

The museum was overall really fun and there was even a live sloth!
