Space and Nature – NC Life and Science Museum

Today we learned about the magnitude of space and explored the intertwinement of space and nature at the Life and Science Museum in Raleigh. We got to do hands on science projects about DNA, and reinforced our knowledge of space from the morning in the planetarium and space exhibits. My favorite stop was learning about history of archaeology in our own state, and I got to see beautiful gemstones that were found in locations not too far from us. We were also surrounded by around 100 fourth graders on a field trip, and spent most of the time trying not to step on them (results varied.)
Side note: we found Mr. Lazarski wandering amongst the common people and gently coerced him into taking a selfie (much to his chagrin).
