At the Natural History Museum we found out that when there is an earthquake sometimes there would be a really really big wave called a Tsunami that wrecks all the towns. Did you know that if a building is made from stiff things then it is most likely to fall over but if it was made from something more flexible it was less likely to fall over in an earthquake? We got to wobble a model of a building and see which would fall down. The earth is made up of plates and when they move or crash together it can make an earthquake. Hills and mountains can be made from when the plates push together.
To get into the museum we went up an escalator that went into the inside of a planet or something from space.
There was a simulator that shook and wobbled like a real earthquake. Earthquakes are scary.
We saw a heat suit that scientists wear when they are collecting things from volcanos. It was silver. I learnt that the stuff inside a volcano is called magma and when it comes out it is called lava.
We saw some dinosaur skeletons and one was a stegasaurous.
We also saw a giant sloth skeleton. They are extinct now. I got to hold some dinosaur poo.
Outside the museum was a man playing an instrument and he was making flames come out of it.
