I am going to the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
![Page 6: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When I walk in the front door, there is a huge squid hanging from the ceiling!
![Page 7: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
I will be welcomed by a staff person who is wearing a name tag. I need to stop and pay my admission fee before I can walk through the museum.
I can always ask a staff person if I need help during my visit.
![Page 8: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
I need to use my inside voice because the hallways are long and everything echoes!
![Page 9: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
I am going to look at the egg collection. They have ostrich and penguin eggs!
I am allowed to touch the glass but I cannot bang on it.
![Page 10: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
There are a lot of eggs to see and I can read about them too. There is information about all of the exhibits hung on the walls.
![Page 11: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The next room has dinosaurs! I am not allowed to touch the dinosaur bones or climb on the exhibit.
I can walk all the way around and look at both dinosaurs.
![Page 12: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In the grasslands exhibit I can see many different animals. I need to be careful because it is hard to see
the glass and some people bump their head on it.
![Page 13: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This is the “Science in Action Lab.” I can touch the fossils here. I need to be gentle with them and
be careful not to drop them. Sometimes a scientist is working in this area and will tell me what he or she is working on.
![Page 14: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In the Mineral Hall, I can look at the colorful rocks, minerals, and gems and learn where they came from.
![Page 15: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Nature Nook is where I will learn about nature and explore different habitats.
I can walk through a cave or sit in a bird’s nest.
![Page 16: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I can make art and draw pictures. I will have to share the supplies with others.
I can take my project home with me.
![Page 17: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It may be a little noisy and busy in the nature nook. I can sit down and take a break on the bench and read a book, or I can leave this activity to play somewhere else.
That is okay.
![Page 18: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There are real, live animals in their habitats. Sometimes the staff members take them out
so I can see them up close. They will tell me if I am allowed to touch them.
![Page 19: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Exhibit Hall changes exhibits every three months. Sometimes the exhibits are loud or have bright flashing lights.
There are many areas where I can look, listen, and feel.
![Page 20: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In the hallway next to the Exhibit Hall, there are giant fossils that I can look at and touch with a gentle hand.
![Page 21: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Great Barrier Reef Walkover is next. I can walk on top of the glass and look down at all the fish
and coral beneath the glass. I can look for Nemo.
![Page 22: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Shell Gallery has shells glued on a wall that I am allowed to touch.
Most of them are smooth and some have pointy edges. The sand underneath feels a little rough, like sandpaper.
![Page 23: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There are many different parts of the shell gallery.
![Page 24: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This is the Darwin part of the museum. There is a lot of information that I can read through the glass.
I am allowed to touch and explore the dung beetle.
![Page 25: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
At the African Watering Hole I can learn about different animals in Africa. I cannot climb on this exhibit,
but I can pretend that I am on a safari and try to find all of the animals.
![Page 26: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
There are touch screens on the side of the watering hole where I can tap the screen to learn about the animals.
Sometimes, they are turned off and that is okay.
![Page 27: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
This is the “Investigation Lab.” Sometimes there are activities here,
and other times I can look at the exhibit.
![Page 28: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
There are many animals around the room. I cannot touch the ones with
the clear, plastic fence around them.
![Page 29: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I can match the animal cutout to the animal on the picture on the wall. I will have to share the cutouts with others.
It is okay if I can’t find the animal. I can ask for help or pick a different card.
![Page 30: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
There may be a movie in the Community Room. The lights are turned down low and the volume may be loud. There may be other families watching the movie, too. If I want to leave the movie and keep exploring, that is okay. Sometimes there is a meeting in the
room and I can’t go in, and that is okay too.
![Page 31: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
If I bring lunch or a snack I can eat at the Coral Reef Canteen. This is the only place inside the museum
where I am allowed to eat or drink.
![Page 32: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
If the weather is nice and warm, we can eat outside. The museum will put tables and chairs out for us.
![Page 33: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
If the weather is nice, there are things to explore outside behind the museum, too. I will listen to my parent or caregiver
when they say it’s time to go back in.
![Page 34: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
This is the gift shop at the museum. I can go in at the end of my visit.
I can ask my parent or caregiver if I can buy a toy or a fossil. They might say “no” or they might say “yes.”
![Page 35: Social Story - Delmnh · 2019. 7. 26. · 5.Delaware Rocks! 6. Black Bear 7. Triceratops 8. Museum Entrance 9. Bobbee Vernon Memorial Garden 10. Picnic Area 11. Pollinator Garden](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062604/5fc2f140ba7fbc3b092f21df/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When I am outside, I am allowed to climb on the statues and get my picture taken. I need to climb safely.
I had a great visit. See you soon!
