Educators planning a trip for their students will find the Maryland Science Center, located at Baltimore's Inner Harbor, a great place to visit.
A variety of exhibits will have students and teachers alike wishing they had more time to spend at the Science Center. Or more likely, already making plans to take another trip to spend even more hours exploring all the facility has to offer.
Many begin with Dinosaur Mysteries, where students and teachers will step into the world of prehistoric predators and plant eaters. More than a dozen full size dinosaurs roam a landscape filled with dig pits, a field lab, excavation sites, and other areas of discovery. Students will meet T. Rex and Astrodon and see full size skeletons and casts of fossilized remains, all hands-on.
There are also live animals, including amphibians and lizards, to help students see the connection between past and present. Some students may even agree with scientists who think birds and dinosaurs are related.
Another display at the Maryland Science Center, "Follow the Blue Crab," is an exhibit focused on the Chesapeake Bay and its relationship to Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic. Featuring live diamondback terrapins, crabs, fish, seahorses, and native plants in aquatic display tanks, the

I travel a lot for business, and perhaps you do too. It's so easy to gain weight when every meal must be eaten out, and close to impossible to lose weight. I've stopped trying to lose weight during travel, although sometimes if I'm lucky I'll lose a bit. Instead I concentrate on not gaining weight and here are the techniques I use that will hopefully be useful to you as well. It's very easy to be inactive while traveling. I try to do some exercise at least a couple of times during the week, hopefully more often. I make a point of immediately finding the exercise room when I check in. If I find it, I'm more likely to use it. I make a point of absolutely and positively using it at least once during a hotel stay. If I use it once, I usually end up using it 2 or more times. I also try to walk if the location is good for walking. Sometimes the only walking I'll do is occasionally up or down the stairs instead of using the elevator, and every little bit helps. I eat a lot, but try to moderate myself on the road.
