La Salle
In addition to outdoor activities, visitors at
Parque La Sabana in Costa Rica can enjoy
el Museo de Ciencias Naturales La Salle, a
museum dedicated to nature and science located
in the southwest corner of the park. The museum
is divided into various sections: minerales y rocas,
paleontología, invertebrados, malacología,
artrópodos, insectos, vertebrados, ornitología,
mamíferos, and esqueletos. There are more than
55,000 exhibits on permanent display.
Choose five sections of the museum and find
their meanings in a dictionary. Then make a list
of two or three items you might see on exhibit for
each of the five sections.
