    Some of the most popular features of the Academy of Natural Sciences are celebrated during this special week, each day with a different theme. Dinosaur Day Monday, Dec. 27: Dinosaurs come back to life through special presentations in Dinosaur Hall. Take what you have just learned and test your knowledge at the science stations, make a dinosaur craft to take home, and enjoy a live animal show. Animal Day Tuesday, Dec. 28: Live animals will be roaming the halls of the Academy for visitors to get a close-up look and to talk with the teacher-naturalist handlers. Learn more about the animals you’ll see at the Live Animal Shows, and make a craft to take home. Butterfly Day Wednesday, Dec. 29: Observe an array of beautiful butterfly specimens from around the world and learn about their life cycle. Make a craft to take home and attend live animal shows. Weird Things in a Jar Day Thursday, December 30: They’re strange. They’re fascinating. They’re weird things in jars! See up close the animal specimens that reside in the darkest corners of the Academy’s vast research collection. After 200 years of collecting, our drawers and shelves are stocked full of weird and wonderful specimens. Learn how specimens are prepared for storage and study, and make your own craft to take home.
