Animals: Machines in Motion

The Museum of Science is an amazing place in Boston that houses hands-on exhibits, live animals, digital models, and movies about science and it’s history. The museum’s exhibits, live shows, and movies are intriguing and every time I go there, I learn things I never knew of before. It is an enormous building, and on every floor there is something new. I interviewed many students in Wood Hill about their experiences going to the Museum of Science. One person we interviewed said: “You know what I really like about going there? The creative things-like the sliding cars."

The Museum of Science is opening a new exhibit, called Animals: Machines in Motion that delves into how animals evolved to survive in their unique environments.The exhibit will open on February 14, 2016. It will be based on the  different ways animals have developed to run, fly, jump, slither, and eat. This temporary exhibit will include digital and hands-on activities, models, and real specimens. It will also feature a life-sized cast of T-rex Sue, the largest and most complex T-rex ever. This incredible exhibit will be free with exhibit hall admission. When I asked the students I interviewed about whether they would like to go there, all of them said that they would definitely go there. As Zach Clement from 7 East said, “... This experience would be very beneficial to students in this era.”
