Preparation for American Museum of Natural History Trip

 

The American Museum of Natural History is enormous and there is no way of seeing it all in one day.  There are some halls that I want you to spend most of your time in since they relate to the topics of this course.  If there is time, you may check out the other parts of the museum that interest you.

 

Follow the link below to take a tour of the museum.  Once you are at the museum's website follow the directions on your  worksheet to guide you through the most important parts of each hall. This will help you find your way around the actual museum and allow you to get the most out of the trip.  Answer the questions in the spaces provided on your sheet.
