List of Mural Objects
Can you find all of these objects in the mural? Can you find objects that are not on the list? Send an E-mail to the Nature Museum to suggest additions to the list.

Teachers and Parents: These exhaustive lists of items in the mural are meant to serve as a teaching resource for you at school or at home. For example, perhaps you'd like to use the mural to teach lesson about the water cycle. The grouped list below will remind you that all three forms of water (liquid, solid, gas) can be found in the mural. In addition, if you hoped to include the ocean in your water cycle lesson but didn't initially see the ocean in the mural, the list lets you know that the muralist did include an ocean and gives you a hint about where to find it (i.e., green, near cargo ship).

Of course, the mural is much, much more than the sum of its many parts and these lists should be used as only a starting point for learning about the interconnectedness of people, plants, animals, resources, and environments.
