Hello. I am a student at the [|Amigos School]; out our 8th grade class recently took a field trip to the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge. At the museum, we did a lab about the history of our state, Massachusetts.

After a short walk to the museum, we arrived and were rushed to the lab, which was pretty much a classroom with loads of dead stuff. We’ve done many labs here, like archeology, the study of ancient humans etc. This one would prove to be one of the most interesting yet.

We all learned a lot about the history of Massachusetts, and we picked up a bit of useless info as well, here are some examples, of the good stuff I mean. One very interesting thing was that the east coast used to be part of Africa, but it broke off when they split after Pangaea. Another interesting fact was that our state was a lot of wetlands, so we were pretty much Florida Sr. But wait, there’s more, we also had a warm, tropical ocean, coral reefs, and a beautiful climate, you know, the works. At the end of our trip to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, I had completely different opinions of our cold, dreary state, and I wish I were born thousands of years ago.
