My Experience at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences

When the 6th grade went to The Museum of Natural Sciences on 1/27/23 in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was a lot of fun. The museum was four floors and it had many exhibits. The main focus was the RACE exhibit. The RACE exhibit had a lot of info about culture in race, how race changed the world, and lots more. The other exhibits they had were, a small space exhibit, birds & reptiles & small land animals, ocean creatures, insects, and a little exhibit for dinosaurs, they also had a really cool 3D printing lab and you got to touch the 3D prints they made. There were also many more exhibits. My favorite exhibit was probably the 3D print lab and the dinosaurs. In the 3D print lab there were 3D printers running and you could ask the people that were there all about it and how it’s made. Also, in the lab there were little monitors with interactive things. In the dinosaur exhibit there were fossils and replicas from the dinosaurs. It was a lot of fun.

Mirror/Window Book Post

Over the past couple of weeks I have been reading the book The Final Six. I have not finished it yet but so far it has been a great book. This book is about a group of teenagers sent to one of Jupiter’s many moons. It is a very action packed book with a lot of details. The group of teenagers has also gone to a space training camp. The author of this book is Alexandra Monir. She did a great job of making the book nice, fun and not confusing to read. I chose to read this book because it sounds cool that there are a group of teenagers that are going to one of Jupiter’s moons and exploring it.

I think for me this is a window book. A window book is something that you can’t relate to and a mirror book is the opposite of a window book, you could relate to it in many ways. This book is a window for me because I have never gone to one of Jupiter’s moons and never been in space. When I pick books I like to pick anything that interests me and that I can relate to in a few ways. I usually pick a mirror book.
