Wonder-museum!

      We know we enjoyed this particular part of the field trip very much, but, in response to what our teacher was saying, we must say 'Yes, teacher. We were singing 'rain rain go away' because the rain was dampening our spirits to go to the Museum of Natural History. When we first heard about this place, we thought it would be the place that we would least enjoy. But when we got there, we enjoyed the place so much. After looking at the exhibits, we concluded that the Museum of Natural History was the best place that we went to in the University of The Philippines Los Baños. It is a very nice place to go if you want to know the animals in the Philippines and their description. It has exhibits of animals like the Great Philippine Eagle. There are also exhibits of insects.We expected to learn about the animals of the Philippines and we did learn about those, plus so much more. Here is an example of the animals we saw in The Museum of Natural History:


Name: Philippine Eagle
Common Name: Eagle
Scientific Name: Pithecophaga jefferyi

Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia                  Phylum: Chordata   
Class: Aves            Order: Falconiformes          
Family: Accipitridae            Genus: Pithecophaga
Species:Pithecophaga jefferyi
Ecological relationship: Consumer and carnivore. Its symbiotic relationship is predation.

  2. Heyy science explorers! Great post you made! Although, may we please suggest that:

    a. Did you meet, see, or learn anything else other than what you have mentioned?
    b. Were you able to get information then more than one organism found in this amazing museum?
    c. And finally, in the scientific name of the Philippine eagle, we believe your writing of the scientific name is erroneous.

    Other than that, this was a good thing you taught us! Here are your scores for the peer evaluation:

  3. SNs should not be underlined when typewritten. Italics would do the job. Thank you for pointing that out Science Gurus.
