A few months ago my family and I went to the great TELLUS Museum. It was the best museum ever!!! If it's the weekend and you have nothing planned, this is the place to go!
Look at this HUGE yellow truck!!! Don't we all look small in front of it? That was how big it was, and trust me,when you get next to it, it's like standing next to the tallest thing in the whole world!
The wheel is really HUGE too, it was actually kinda scary just standing next to it.
There was an area where you could play with lights, for instance you could turn a prism and the light would go different places and stuff like that.
This is the Girls Bathroom sign, it looked funny, so I asked my mom if she could take a picture of me next to it.
This was one of my favorite parts of the museum. There is a place in the museum where you can pan for gems!!! Not like real priceless gems, but colored rock-stone-things. They were really small but very pretty. My sister and I even went back again to get more!
There was a place where there were mirrors where you looked different, whatever they are called. Weird mirrors are lots of fun!
The room next to the Gem Panning room, is a Fossil Hunting room. That was really fun too. Whenever you are done you get to pick 1 small thing fossil to keep. I got a shark tooth.
At the very entrance there's a pendulume, I forget what it's called exactly but it was really a sight. Every minute (?) the golden pendulume- looking thing will knock down one block, it was really fasinating.
So COOL!!!
Entrance toward the Solar House.
This is a house that is totally green! The walls are made of, well I forget what they're made of but they're made of something that was recycled, and the roof & wallswere made of Solar Panels. Solar panels soak up energy from the sun, and use the energy to make electricity. The inside was extraordinary! It was really bright (but not too bright) and there was a computer system where, if you turn on the lights, and the computer thought that it was bright enough, it would automaticly turn off the lights! It only had one bedroom and stuff, but it was still cool!
There was a guide talking about the house and he told all of us about the light bulbs you should use. It was quite interesting.
Also inside the museum there was a whole giant section where there were a bunch of different rocks and gem stones, which I found interesting and cool! There was a place in the section where foods (they were really plastic) were on the walls and on tables and there were cards that said which minerals were in everyday products.
This is one of the beautiful crystals, isn't it just beautiful?!?!??!
Here are some minerals/gems; all different kinds and sizes.
I have a tiny rock that looks just like this rock! I was amazed when I saw this amazing
gem.
More rocks and crystals. They're so beautiful!
You know when you go to places and there's a thing where you can stand in it and it'll show just your face? Well this is one of those things. This was in the Space Section.
This is a space shuttle thing I think.
This is a jet engine. My dad told me he used to work on these things, I forget how but he did when he was in the Airforce.
This is a GIANT helicopter. It was amazing! The inside was very interesting. (I so want to ride in one now!!!)
This is a Biosatellite, I don't know what that is though, but it was still interesting.
This is HUGE, trust me, whenever you get close to it, and like I said before, it's like standing next to the Statue of Liberty! What I really like about this skeleton was that its tail was really long!
We almost forgot to even look and take pictures of this one, we were looking at other skeletons in front of it, and didn't even notice it at first, so when we remembered, my mom and I went back and took a picture and looked in amazement.
This was really scary- looking, I think it's a Sabertooth Tiger, but I forget.
I forgot what this one is too, but it's pretty cool.
This, I think, is a Wooly Mammoth Skeleton, it's really BIG!!!!!
P.S.
