Natural History Museum

I got a great deal on tickets for the Natural History Museum through Groupon.  Ashleigh and Russ hadn't been yet so it was fun to go together.


This was Jackson's 3rd time and he still loves it.

Nice to meet you

 Flood and drain the Salt Lake valley to see what  parts were underwater

 This is an interactive exhibit with recordings of common words in different tribe languages. The kids would say the word out loud and it would be recorded and compared to each other.

Weaving

Pottery

Arrowheads & Jewelry

First shoes

Tell us your worst weather experience 

Watching their jump on a Richter scale and building a structure to withstand an earthquake

 

 The kids had a contest to see who could build the strongest dam. This was a slanted table with a steady flow of water to the bottom to emulate water erosion. I think they spent the most time at this exhibit.

Treasures from the gift shop. A dreamcatcher for Ash and a scorpion necklace for Jackson.
