The Children’s Natural History Museum of Fremont will be renovating our displays and we have uncovered many fossils, minerals and rocks that need a new home that will teach children about our local geology and paleontology.  We will be doing a series of Open Houses  so teachers can get specimens and learn about the opportunities that the Math Science Nucleus can provide our schools.  We will be open certain days so teachers can see the museum and also get specimens that might help convey the importance of our geologic history.  Our staff will show you the facility and the materials we have.  Most of the material are specimens that you can put on your desk so children can ask questions.  Some are fossils from the Arctic from the U.S. Geological Survey.  We also have a limited number of fragments of a mammoth tusk (only available to those that register).   Come by the Children’s Natural History Museum on Wednesdays 2-5 pm.   You will get free exclusive tour through the museum and a look into the different field trips we offer.  Learn about our other facilites at Tule Ponds, Earthquake Exhibit and California Nursery Historical Park.  This is for teachers only.  Also ask about the plans for a new museums and reopening the original Irvington District dig site in collaboration with the city, state, and University of California Museum of Paleontology.

Email us if you have any questions (msn@msnucleus.org).
