HMNH+NE+PP

Bonjour (hello)

My name is Catalina (: and I’m an 8th grader in the [|Amigos School]. I’m doing a wiki project on New England Historic Past. I am doing this project because I want people to learn more about it’s historic past. This topic relates to the field trip because when we went to [|Harvard Museum of Natural History] we completed a lab about New England’s Historic Past. On January 7th 2008 we walked to the HMNH. This museum is very interesting. There were exhibits about fossils, minerals dinosaurs etc. At the museum we did a lab that taught us about fossils and how New England was in the past. We learned that fossils are the remains of dead animals from the past. We leared that New England was part of an ocean. I know this because scientists found fossils in New England of animals that lived in the ocean. We also compared different things like horseshoe crab and trilobite fossils. We did this because the fossil was from the past and it looked like the animal that lives today. This is how scientists learn about the animals that lived in the past. After the lab we went and saw different exhibits in the Harvard Museum. HMNH was informative because I learned about different things.

New England used to be covered by water: scientist found fossils of dead animals that used to live in the ocean.
In conclusion, I learned many things about New England’s past. I recommend people to go to the Harvard Museum of Natural History and see the exhibits about fossils.

Au revoir (Bye)
