Science and History Museum

One Friday we were going to the Raleigh Science Museum. We got in a big bus and we drove for thirty minutes before we got there. Once inside the museum our advisory and another went up an escalator. At the top there was a big whale skeleton. We read about it and saw some more skeletons. 

There was a big exhibit about the animals and plants of North Carolina. It was a really cool exhibit because there was a forest two stories tall and there were some animals scattered around. There was also alive fish with long noses that I forgot the name of. We saw them get fed and moved on to the next one. 

We walked across a sky walk overlooking the cars and the buses. In the other building, we saw exhibits about weather. Me and my wise friends, Jackson and David spent time reading each exhibit. We saw a simulator where we could change how much pollution there was in the world. We also read about animals affected by weather. Then we went to a big room where everybody else was. It was a dome where a big projector could show certain man made satellites orbiting Earth. Later, we went to a big room with another projector broadcasting a film about plants. Then we went back to the main building. 

To get to the other side, we went over the sky walk except it was above the previous one. The floor and the walls had natural events that happened In chronological order. When we reached the other side, there was a big globe revolving in a circle. We could press buttons and lights would show, depicting where each landform was. Then we went into a big room which had a giant Acrocanthosaurus fighting a sauropod. The Acrocanthosaurus looked like a T Rex but smaller. It had real bones.

After that, we went outside to eat lunch. I ate with my friends. We talked about video games. Soon we were done and we went up a lot of escalators to the fourth floor. There was a bug exhibit. One exhibit that caught my eye was a cage with a lot of giant flying cockroaches. I thought it was pretty gross. They were all piled up on a big rock and eating fermented vegetables. Then we went to an exhibit about race. There were posters on the wall with quotes from different races.  

Finally, it was time to go back to the bus. It was a really fun experience. I would like to thank the teachers for organizing this wonderful trip.
