A field trip with my daughter's 8th grade science/math club to Miami University. Beautiful campus, yes... knew that already and even in the "drab" of January in Ohio, the campus is still beautiful. The focus of the trip was to experience a bit of science and engineering in college, my favorite bit was visiting their fantastic zoology museum "The Hefner Zoology Museum and Natural History" where it is apparent that the arts are heavily involved in the process of making such an incredible learning environment for folks of all ages. There are models created of ecosystems and the models of the animals which reside in those ecosystems showing the collaborative efforts of artists and environmental scientists. Very cool. Art work from local high schools featured throughout the zoology museum. www.environmentaleducationohio.org
I was unable to take photos... but this I had to capture.
