Aidan 16, Natural History Museum

Today we went to the Natural History Museum.  

We learnt about earthquakes and volcanos. One of the things we learnt was that earthquakes that happen under the ocean can make tsunamis which are huge waves that wash away all the buildings and other things in its way.

We learnt  that there are four different types of volcanos. one of them is called a Stratovolcano.  We got to see the different types of eruptions that would happen if a volcano had lots of gas and thick lava or not a lot of gas and thin lava.

 There was a model that showed that if you make a building made out of bricks and concrete it will probably fall down in an earthquake. If you make a building that is flexible it might not fall down. 

There was a fake supermarket that moved from side to side, it was an earthquake simulator. It had a tv showing a it has mine tv showing the real supermarket in an earthquake in Japan

There were some big dinosaur skeletons and at a stand a man told us about dinosaur poo. Holly and I got to hold the poo, it was as hard as a rock and heavy.
