We have invested quite a bit of time becomming familiar with the geosciences of Massachusetts. As this is a travel day, we will spend our morning in Boston visiting the Museum of Science and looking at "natural disasters", a current hot topic.
The MOS, as it is called, offers a variety of exhibits and programs involving the geosciences. This portion of our geoscience tour will take advantage of the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Mugar Omni Theater to add to the topics of Geology and Meteorology covered on Day 4 and Day 1. This tour includes related background science, as well as a virtual field trip, available via the links (located to the left) as follows:
Background
A brief introduction to The background information and references provided will not only better prepare you for the Field Trip itself, but will help you act as a guide to others as well (either in situ or elsewhere).
Field Trip
Building upon the provided background information, I have put together a virtual (or actual) field trip to Boston's Museum of Science's Charles Hayden Planetarium and Mugar Omni Theater. Specific locations and directions are also included for those who live in the general area and would like to explore the area first-hand.
