Tellus Museum

Mimi took us to a really cool Museum in Cartersville, Ga called the Tellus Museum. I'm counting this as our first home schooling field trip. We had so much fun and they had several "hands-on" exhibits that made going with little ones fun for everyone.

Here is Naomi in front of the center of the world.Hudson walking up to one of the MANY dinosaurs that they had.
They have a "backyard" exhibit where the kids can do some fun Physical Science experiments. Most were geared toward older children, but the kids had fun playing around as well.
Here Hudson is using magnets to move pieces of metal from one dump truck to the other.
There is also a fossil room where you can uncover REAL fossils and take them home with you. There are also some really large permanent fossils you can uncover too!Here is Mimi and Naomi uncovering some fossils.

In addition to all that you can pan for gems! We found several and were able to keep all the gems that we found.
Out side the Museum has several dump truck and cranes that you can look at.
This one is HUGE!
It was really a neat day and a great museum. I didn't get any pictures of the transportation room where they have all types of transportation including airplanes and space ships! I would highly recommend this Museum to you if you are going to be near Cartersville. Thanks Mimi for a fun day!
