"These Fish are Dead" - a museum tour

INTRODUCTION

My two-part “These Fish are Dead”  goes over the ancient fish in the Field Museum.  I think that ocean life is often overlooked when people think of coming to a natural history museum so I wanted to shine the spot light on the sea-life for a moment.  The museum has really fascinating fossils and items in their collection and I wanted to draw attention to them.  It’s just a simple light-hearted trip through the “Evolving Planet” exhibit where there is the most significant information on ancient fish.    You can print it out at home and fold it into two little books that you can bring around the exhibits with you.

How do I turn each sheet into an 8-page booklet of Vol. 1 and 2?
