The Great American GEOGRAPHY Project
Oct. 10, 2007
Lancaster, PA - North Museum of Natural History
 

Kayla, Nathan, Seth, Sabrina and I spent the day in Lancaster, juggling between museums. We started at the National Watch and Clock Museum, had lunch there, then wandered over to the North Museum of Natural History on F&M campus.

We’d never been to the North Museum before. The kids especially liked the discovery boxes. Sabrina and I found most of them OK but the one filled with taxidermied feet form difference species was pretty creepy. 

The visiting art exhibit was also creepy, although very beautiful at the same time. It was a display of photographs from Dr. Stephen Rannels called Beyond Bugs.  The photos were all mosaic style of designs formed from various insect parts, especially butterfly wings.

G'day! This year (and possible the next!) one of our major homeschooling goals is to attack US geography in a hands-on, go there, do that manner. We actually began last week, but a friend wisely suggested that a blog would be a great way to keep track of our journeys. And so we start, branching out from our homebase of Gettysburg PA.... Destination? America!
