Suitcase Exhibition
Jonathan Ferrabee © Canadian Museum of Nature
Ice Age is a suitcase-sized exhibition brimming with the latest information on climate change.
You’ll see evidence from the past showing that the Earth goes through warm and cold periods. Touch a dinosaur toe-bone, a chunk of 45 million-year-old wood, and a fossilized leaf-impression from warmer times. Marvel at specimens from the ice age including a piece of mammoth tusk and a giant-beaver jawbone. Solve jigsaw puzzles, play a sound-matching game, an ad lib word game and more on the computer. Hear some surprising Stories from the Field, narrated by museum researchers. A stack of colourful quiz cards full of fun facts about ice age mammals and more is also included.
