HARVARD Natural
History MUSEUM
4N Braved the cold, the traffic, and -sadly- put off classroom learning for another Great day of exploration at Harvard University! Much like our previous trip to the Peabody Museum, the Harvard Natural History Museum provided opportunities for us to participate in a wonderful demo class where we learned to identify rocks and minerals based on different criteria (see picture left) and we got to spend lots of time enjoying the glorious Glass Flowers, Mammals, Dinosaurs, and of course the Minerals exhibits! There is still Much to explore, so if you and the family are in need of a fun day trip, head on over to Harvard!
Harvard Peabody Museum
December 18, 2014 4N hopped on a few trains and headed to Harvard's Peabody Museum to learn all about natural history! We discovered rocks from around the world, explored the United States of America through the historical perspective of the Native Americans, and saw skull, bones and replicas of animals past and present! We've taken the time to document our learning by creating posters in our classroom, please come check them out when you're available!
Meet our new class pets!
