The second exhibit I went to was the David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins, which depicts our early ancestors and journey to get to our current society. From this exhibit, many human impacts on the land, climate, and other species, are relayed to the viewer. Land through the clearing of forests, building of cities, and construction of dams. Climate through rising sea levels, increase carbon dioxide emissions, and rising temperatures. Lastly other species through the destruction of habitats, and hunting for sport. This information was displayed in an animation, which employed timelines, diagrams, and visual representations of the information, effectively expressing it to the viewer. Lastly, while some people may say that this hall de-emphasizes the human impact on the enviornment, I disagree, the point of the hall is to show the progress of humans as a species from as far back as our earliest ancestors, meaning human impact on the enviornment wouldn't even be necessary to display, however despite this it is still displayed, only emphasizing our impact on the enviornment.

The third exhibit I went to was the Sant Ocean Hall, which contains various creatures and information about the oceans of our world. Two videos I watched in this exhibit were 'Deep Ocean Creatures', which goes overmany alien-like creatures at the bottom of the ocean, alonog with extremely large versions of known animals such as sponges, and also 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch', which conveyed that there are many patches of garbage formed by microplastics caught in rotating ocean currents, they are large, constantly moving, and sometimes invisible, with debris reaching all the way to the ocean floor. These videos are both very informative, and presented in a way that any general visitor could instantly understand any concepts explained in them, by explaining in detail through common words instead of scientific jargaon. The last video I watched in this exhibit was the 'Global Ocean', presented on a floating sphere in the middle of the room, which itself can be very helpful, but also hard to see all sides at once, making it hard to absorb all the information, I believe a flat screen may have been better in this situation for this reason. The video itself however was very informative, describing the interation between the oceans and the climate such as the formation of fossil fuels through plankton, which we then use to power our modern lives, which in turn pollutes the atmosphere, climate, and oceans, causing the mto become more acidic, destroying coral reefs, and resulting in more extreme weather.

The last exhibit I went to was the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils, which presents models of extinct animals, particularly dinosaurs. Throughout the exhibit there are also many miniature displays of various locations as they appeared in the past, such as Wyoming in the Cenzoic period and Colorodo in the Mesozoic period, both of which has higher carbon dioxide levels, higher temperatures, and higher sea levels. These small displays are extremely effective in the presentation of information because they contain so much knowledge in such a tiny area, making the best use of space while also properly conveying insightful information. Furthermore, the back wall of the exhibit depicts the past and present developments of climate change, such as the spike in carbon dioxide and temperature levels, and how the data used for these numbers were collected from fossils, which the display makes very clear, along with doing a great job at showing the projected climate in our future through graphs and informative explanations.
