Today, we are using Science Alley, our main lobby level, to take a trip through time. This 166 square foot space will help us to show the geological age of the Earth and when different forms of life appeared for the first time. Starting 4.5 billion years ago, we are going to travel through time through the era of dinosaurs right to the present day. How long have humans lived on Earth, and how does that relate to the overall age of the Earth? Learn all that and so much more in this latest edition of Science Sunday.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
