Field Museum

     Today we went to the field museum as a way to officially end our unit on dinosaurs.  While there we went through the underground adventure where we were "shrunk down and put under the soil" to see what lives in the soil.  The students even got to sit inside of a cicada to see what it feels like to be a bug.

of the bugs and plants.





We then headed over to Ancient Egypt and the kids got to see some of the mummies and other things from ancient Egypt.  Before we left we also went inside a pyramid and climbed to the top of it.

We made it upstairs and found Sue before heading into the Evolving Planet exhibit to find the dinosaurs.  Some of the students were even able to find the dinosaur that they wrote about for our dinosaur book.

We found one of our dinosaurs that we did for our book.



He found his dinosaur, the Stegosaurus.
