The Florida Natural History Museum

We took the elementary students on a field trip to the Florida Natural History Museum, this morning.

The gardens behind the museum:













A hands-on display of Florida fossils:



Cave exhibit:





Local Native American culture:











One of the things we really wanted the children to see, was the room that showed native canoes and how they were made.









Designing a personalize paddle:



The children really enjoyed the exhibits of Florida animals, both past and present.









The environmentally friendly house exhibit:





The Discovery Room:

















We had lunch at the museum before returning to school.
