Field Museum fun
In Chicago,Illinois
Summer fun section
I recently drove 4 hours to Chicago,Illinois. I went on the trip a couple of weeks ago at the end of August. I went on the trip with my family ( my mom, dad, sister, and brother) . At the Field Museum they have dinosaurs and Viking exibits and you could spend days looking at them. The reason I wanted to go to the museum was to learn about how the dinosaurs were destroyed and how they adapted .

The science of it
My first connection to science was the Big Bang (the creation of the world) . It connects to science because when I was at the museum I went to the dinosaur and mammoth exhibit. I read some captions and it talked about how the Big Bang killed all of them . The second conection to science is how paleontologist work and find fossils . I got to meet a group of them and look in their lab where they work.

Sue the dinosaur
This is Sue the dinosaur and it is the biggest collection of TRex dinosaur bones. It is not known what gender the dinosaur was.
Dinosaur head
This is the head of Sue the dinosaur and it weighs around 600 pounds. The head is actually not the one on the skeleton because it is too heavy. The one on the skeleton is a fake made with different material.
Baby mammoth
This was a baby mammoth named Lyuba. It died soon after it was born.
