Staff from the San Diego Natural History Museum
were part of family science day activities February 20-21
at the AAAS 2010 Annual Meeting held at the
Convention Center.






The Natural history museum brought down a collection
of bugs from around the world, and had another display
of bugs just from San Diego County.

Kids also had the opportunity to chip away
at ancient fossil sea shells embedded in soil.
The paleontologists wanted to teach the kids
what to do if they ever run across deposits.

The Family Science day was a free activity
open to all.

The AAAS had numbers of booths that introduced
the world of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science.

One kid activity I liked involved a group
that had kids take chips out of a chocolate chip cookie,
and they attempt to put the cookie back together again.

They were giving a simple lesson
that when we take things apart,
it is difficult to put them back the way they were.
