Dynamic Earth Hall Scavenger Hunt
- Make your own prediction about the weather using radar weather data — then check to see if your prediction was right!
- Check out Ellie May, our nearly fully articulated mammoth excavated by Museum paleontologists. Because her bones were too badly damaged by the excavation equipment, Ellie May is mounted upside down from the original position she was found.
- Find and touch water in its three forms — solid, liquid, and gas!
What to do next
Experience the building blocks of rocks in a completely different way in the Gems and Minerals Hall. These rocks will mesmerize you as they shimmer, sparkle, and glow. All minerals are a specific combination of chemical elements. While they share many traits — some will definitely surprise you.
