The Durham Academy 6th graders had an amazing time at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences is a museum in Raleigh that has four floors with things about North Carolina I never knew. The exhibits not only showed me things about North Carolina that I never knew but showed them to me in an engaging way.

One amazing thing at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences was the Research Center. The Research Center was a place where, through a glass panel, you could watch paleontologists study real fossils! This was really cool to me because I have never seen scientists at work.

Another amazing thing at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences was Prehistoric North Carolina. Prehistoric North Carolina was a place with actual skeletons of dinosaurs that walked on the lands of North Carolina including the acrocanthosaurus atokensis. This was awesome to me because it’s cool to know you might be standing in a place where a dinosaur once stood.

We had an amazing time at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and we learned so much. The exhibits taught me things I never knew in a memorable way. It gave me new reasons to love North Carolina. I hope to go back sometime soon!
