Mammoth discovery
Ideas for an exhibit;
Family Tree: What does this animal remind you of? Picture of bird, elephant and dog. Explanation of how mammoths are related to modern elephants, maybe with a graphic of a family tree to help visualize the information.
Fact and Fiction: Show a clip from the movie ice age. Have a table split into “Fact” and “Fiction” have moveable “facts” like “mammoths had tusks” and “mammoths could talk” and have kids and parents sort them. Have some way to combine the magnet board concept (because tangible stuff is always more fun!) with a computer, so it would make a sound if you put it in the wrong column, and another sound and light up if you put it in the right column.
Mammoth migration. An animated timeline where you can move the timeline slider and see what the earth looked like, where on the planet mammoths were, and the concentrations of the populations. Maybe you could also enter your zip code and find out if there were mammoths in your neighborhood!
