Museum of Life and Science - Part 1 On the second day of our mini-vacation we went to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC. The Apollo astronauts received some of their early training in the Chapel Hill area (which is right next to Durham) and so they have quite a few artifacts there. We started our tour outside in the "Life" area first. |

She chose to do research on poisonous frogs because they are so pretty. We had looked up pictures of them to take into class, and the pictures looked exactly like these: | |
