My Geology Experience

This trip was with a bunch of boy scouts that I had no idea who they were and I was to be with them for 3 weeks. I met lot’s of good friends and I felt welcome. My trip started off by heading to Washington D.C. We saw lots of memorials and museums. We then went to gettysburg and philadelphia. From that point on, until the Jamboree, we visited LDS sites and finally the national pro football hall of fame.

The Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC is a timeless building and a work of art itself. The building was designed with a contemporary style and is an outward expression of its artistic, belongings inside. I visited the Museum on Tuesday, July 02, 2013, at around 2 in the afternoon. I was within the museum for about 2 ½ hours, observing the exhibits. The building itself exceeded my expectations, but the inside took my breath away. Every detail within was elaborate and intended with thought; from the glass windows, to the straight lines of the architecture, to the

One of the first things that I noticed about The Met was its exterior architecture. Like many historical buildings and museums, The Met's architecture is highly influenced by European architecture; in this case, it appears as though the architecture is attempting to emulate the gothic style. Once inside the daunting faรงade, I was pleasantly surprised to see how richly illuminated the museum was. What made it even more remarkable was that much of the light appeared to permeate through skylights that had been built into the building's ceiling. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Met was considerably less crowded than the American Museum of Natural History, which I had visited the day before.

Interestingly, my first visit to the Museum was almost accidental. When I was a freshman, my mother was taking an art class at the College of Staten Island which required a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum, and my brother and I both agreed to accompany her. I will never forget the moment that I first laid eyes on the Metropolitan Museum. Although it was a dark, cold winter night, the shimmering lights made the building most inviting. As we crossed the threshold, I was struck by

One summer my parents informed my brother Ben and I we were going on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. I had never been so excited for anything in my life. I had a passion and love for nature, and being that Yellowstone had some of the most beautiful and interesting geological features on Earth, I knew I would have a blast. They said we would be going in a few weeks, and I literally couldn’t wait. I kept asking questions upon questions, and finally, my dad just got annoyed. “Go research it, Juliette.” He said. “The internet will know more than I do.” I took his advice and went to research Yellowstone.

For the History Museum paper, we took a trip to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. It was interesting that the tour guide asked who has been there before and I was only one of three people who raised their hand. Nobody knowing I was born and raised in Philadelphia, I have been to the Penn Museum only once when I was younger. I was actually pretty excited to go again and see what has changed since I have been there.

Over the spring break, my parents decided to take me to visit colleges. Of the two colleges we visited, one of them is located near Washington D.C. We were supposed to visit Georgetown University, but we had one day to relax, so my family decided to visit the National Gallery of Art. My dad originally suggested the Smithsonian Museum, but my said that on Yelp, the National Gallery of Art was ranked 1st in museums in Washington, which is much better than Smithsonian, which was ranked 12th. So, we left our hotel and arrived at the museum just as soon as it opened.

After arriving and going through the security screenings, I proceeded to go down the stairs, entering the exhibit itself. Before even observing anything specific, it was immediately realized that this was no typical museum. Most people know that upon arrival, but only when you first enter the exhibit do you realize that this museum is not one that inspects the past, but one that reminds us of it.

I turned around and at that moment I realized I was lost. Field Trips are always exciting growing up because it's a day off of school until you get lost. I always looked forward to going on field trips growing up. To me it was an opportunity to miss class but also learn new exciting things. Every year in middle school, my school went to the Los Angeles County Fair in the beginning of September. Since it was the beginning of the school year, it was a fun time considering this is the most exciting field trip all year. There was this feeling about this field trip that it was going to be different.

I recall at the end of my visit one night having a rather profound experience. My tea had

Kevin Krajick’s article “Tracking Myth to Geological Reality” was published by American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2005. This article examines how many myths can be linked to geological evidence. Geologists have been investigating how ancient geological phenomenon are able to shed light on the origins of many myths. Scientist have even uncovered evidence that may serve as the inspiration for biblical stories. Many are hoping that understanding these myths and the geological phenomenon they depict will reveal important information about natural disasters like: tsunamis, floods and volcanic eruptions. It is hoped that this information will save human lives in the future. With all of these new discoveries it is important to

For my UTEP event I went to the fossil and rock exhibit. Although I was limited to only a few exhibits, those exhibits were very interesting. Some of the exhibits that I saw were the rock, fossil and history exhibits. The one I found most interesting was the rock exhibit. This exhibit was made up of rocks found in this general area (El Paso New Mexico and Mexico). It had a wide range of rocks from crystals to quarts to obsidian rocks. The one I found most beautiful was the Calcite crystal. This crystal was from Durango Mexico and it almost looks like a white rose. This experience for me was very educational. I learned many things like, how the pressure on a rock can affect the way it looks and feels. I also learned that at one point El Paso

Complementing the beautiful columns and arches were stained glass windows detailing religious and/ or nature based images. For example, the Lewis and Clark stained glass contains a variety of animals they saw on their expedition such as the prairie dog. Furthermore, there is a scientifically inspired stained glass window with an actual piece of moon rock brought by an astronaut from Apollo 11. There were also statues of prominent historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln throughout. A statue that immediately captured my interest was Abraham Lincoln on his knees with his hands up demonstrating prayer.

I had an opportunity to visit the oriental institute museum . During my visit to the museum I was made aware of its location and the importance of it to chicago. The museum housed many exhibits of historical value dating civilization back to the paleolithic period of 2,500,000-100,000 B.C. Below you'll find examples of mans rise through the use of tools and refined skills from cave living to structured living throughout evolution. This is an experience that has grounded me to a new interest in structures that we have devised to become the homes we use today for the rest of my life.

In Act 1 of the play, it talks about how the Tectonic Theater Project on November 14, 1998, went to Laramie, Wyoming. The Tectonic Theater Project interview the people that lived in Laramie about the murdered of Matthew Shepard. When they interview the townspeople, they asked about what happened the night they last so Matthew. Some people said that Mathew went with the two boys willingly, but there were people that said that opponent. A bartender said that she saw Matthew before he felt with the boys. She told the press that the three boys left together in a black truck. As Aaron Kreifels was riding, his bicycle he found Matthew tied to a fence. Matthew had blood all over him and he did not have his shoes. In Act 2 of the play, the trial of Aaron James McKinney and Russell Arthur Henderson was taking place. Both of the boys pleaded not guilty even though police found evidence of the Matthew being in that black truck that they had. In the truck, there was Matthew’s credit card and his shoe which he did not have when they found him. As Act 2 goes on they play gives regular updates of how Matthew’s condition is. At the end of the Act 2, Matthew died. Act 3 is when Matthew’s funeral was healed. At his funeral, there were protesters saying the god hates fags. In addition, it also shows the trail of McKinney, he was sentenced to life in prison. At the trail, Matthew’s father was said that Matthew never believed in the death penalty. That every day that McKinney wakes up to thank
