Earth Fair Outdoors at NYC's Grand Central Terminal



Mikro and I went to Earth Fair today and enjoyed:

Bio Bus: a veggie oil fueled science lab on wheels, where we learned about Daphnia (water fleas), tiny crustaceans with a very complex anatomy, including a heart and digestive tract, which can be observed moving under the microscope.



Making semaphore flags to spell out "Earth", and touching and learning about a hermit crab, an oyster drill snail, and clams and mussels from the educators from South Street Seaport Museum.



Chatting with artist Michael Albert, and doing some coloring, which we traded for a signed poster:



Checking out a preview of the history Channel's new America: The Story of Us series, watching a cool movie about endangered species and habitat destruction called What Is Missing?, and participating in the Walking With Dinosaurs Roar project:



Interacting with Baby T Rex, one of the dinosaurs from the Walking With Dinosaurs show:
