===Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ===
Amelia comes across Larry Daley, who is searching for his Museum of Natural History friends in the Smithsonian Institution. Amelia instantly becomes attracted to Larry and accompanies him through the National Gallery of Art in order to get away from Kahmunrah's Egyptian troops.
While moving through the paintings, Larry and Amelia end up in V-J Day in Times Square with a sailor named Joey Motorola. Amelia and Larry trap Kahmunrah's soldiers in the photograph and help the giant octopus by dumping water from a nearby painting over it, but Napoleon Bonaparte captures them.
Once commanded to help find the code for the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, Amelia and Larry come across a bust of Theodore Roosevelt proving to be no help. Amelia tells Larry that she knows someone who could help and takes him to The Thinker, but he too gets distracted and gives no help at all. Amelia sparks a memory in Larry's mind taking them to the Air and Space Museum where the Albert Einstein bobbleheads are on display.
On their way to the museum, Amelia and Larry are chased by Russian troops who believe they are trying to escape. They come across the Abraham Lincoln Statue at the Lincoln Memorial. After it is safe to make their way to the museum, the two come across the Einstein bobbleheads who tell Amelia the code to the tablet, being pi (3.14...) (π) which Amelia has to remember.
As the pair leave, they are trapped by the Russian troops, Napoleon Bonaparte, Ivan the Terrible and Al Capone. Larry and Amelia escape in the Wright Flyer while the exhibit Tuskegee Airmen hold them off, and they return to the Smithsonian Institution Building. The two separate with Amelia searching for help while Larry delays Kahmunrah.
Amelia frees the New York exhibits from their container and recruits other Smithsonian exhibits. During the battle, Amelia opens the underworld gate.
Amelia flies Larry and the New York exhibits back to the Natural History Museum before flying back to Washington, knowing that she will turn to dust at sunrise if she does not return to the Smithsonian.
===Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (Video Game) ===
====Wii/PC/Xbox 360====
In this version of the game, we first see Amelia in the National Air and Space museum, with a highlighted circle in front of her to show that the player needs to talk to her. Once Larry goes to Amelia, she asks him about the whereabouts of a fire (not a serious fire) as Larry recognizes who she is, to which Amelia quickly introduces herself and asks who Larry is. Due to one of Napoleon’s soldiers walking by, Larry grabs Amelia and drops to the ground after telling her to get down, having been interrupted by the guard, leading Amelia to jokingly call him 'Mr.Down' and asking if they should try that again. 
Amelia says how she’s pleased to meet him as she once again says her name before asking Larry if he flies. Larry states how he only does due to dinosaurs before saying how he has to run due to the soldiers chasing after him. Amelia asks- “Those stuffed shirts with the bean shooters?” before telling Larry to tell her, which leads to him explaining the plot in a very generalized manner. Amelia says how she’s in, since it sounds like an adventure and Larry questions her, to where she states that she’ll help. Reluctantly, Larry lets her help and tells her the plan. She then runs off once the cutscene ends.
During a new cutscene, one where Larry is watching Napoleon talk to his guards, Amelia comes in and asks Larry if he forgot about her. As Larry stutters for an explanation, Amelia states how she’s an equal of a man before letting him to look, where Able is running off and talking an ingot. Once Able takes the ingot, Larry says to catch em, to which Amelia says to split up and run.
Later on after Larry gives Able a snack, Amelia tells him to follow her to go to the Federal Archives once more. Once there, a cutscene will play, one where Amelia states how they could fly out of the Archives. When Larry questions her, she says how it’s her old plane and how she had set a record with it. When Larry calls it weird, she tells him to be nice. Then, when the plane won’t start, she says how it won’t start, and snaps when Larry says to ‘try being nice to it’ before focusing back on the plane.
After Larry collects the gear ingot and starts the plane, the pair fly across the Federal Archives. When they get near the end of the archives, Amelia tells Larry to get out of the plane due to it taking damage, to which Larry states the deep fall- which Amelia tells him to use his keychain.
Way later in the game after Larry and Octavius save Jedediah, we hear Amelia speaking over the overcome, telling Larry to get to the Air and Space Museum due to Napoleon’s guards being all over the place. Once the scene cuts to the museum, we see Amelia standing next to a Rover, getting in with Larry as they attack Napoleon’s soldiers. She says a few different voice lines throughout this whole scene. Once it’s done, Larry asks if Amelia can take him to the Lincoln Memorial- which she agrees to do and tells him to get the hanger doors open.
Once Larry has done so and both him and Amelia are on the plane, Larry asks if this will work, which she says she’s sure but to expect a wild ride. This leads them to fly over to the Lincoln Memorial. As they fly over, Amelia comments on the amount of Kahmunrah’s un-dead soldiers that are on the ground but Larry states that he won’t give up.
Once they stop flying and land, Amelia makes her way up to the Lincoln Memorial Statue but stops mid-way, pointing out Ben Franklin, who’s holding a kite in a thunderstorm. Larry says how they have to get to Lincoln, which Amelia says that she- ‘copies that’, leading to Larry to ask why she said that instead of ‘Roger’ or ‘Yes’. This leads to Amelia making a comment about how Larry was dropped on his head as a baby. Once they get to Abe and see how he won’t come to life, she asks Larry why Abe won’t ‘start’- to where Larry starts to speak but gets interrupted by Ben Franklin, who is struck by lightning. This leads Larry to get a crazy idea, to which Amelia comments how all his ideas are crazy.
As the Tablet gets struck by lightning and has enough magic to bring Abe to life, Amelia and Larry meet him before Larry asks a favor of Amelia, to which she agrees.
We then don’t see Amelia til the ending cutscene. She’s standing outside of the Smithsonian with her plane, which has exhibits from the Museum of Natural History inside, before speaking to Larry. She says how everyone is in and that the next stop is New York City, to where Larry asks if she needs a map but gets interrupted by Jed, who says for them to hurry up. Once they’re in New York and Larry asks her to plan in Central Park, Amelia states that she can better than any man and tells Larry to say ‘when’ before letting go, telling him to feel free to do so. Once they get to the museum, Larry thanks her before saying how it’s almost dawn and that she needs to fly, which she agrees and says her bye’s. Once she starts to fly once more, she starts to fly towards Canada before turning around and flying back towards DC.
====DS====
Amelia is first seen in the first level of the game, talking to Larry and saying "I'm Amelia Earhart. I think you'll need this magic Cloud Ingot. Hope it helps." Due to this, Larry can complete the first level by flying then gliding in the air. Though her first scene she's in is short, she is later on seen in the cutscene that takes place after Larry defeats Kahmunrah. When she is seen, she asks what the rumble is and to give her the- 'scoop', leading to Larry to thank Amelia for the Ingot. After Amelia learns Larry's name and asks what's happening, Larry explains to her the conflict of the DS version of the game before she mentions that the 'Ancient Pharaoh" is getting away.
Next time we see Amelia is in the cutscene that takes place after Larry defeats Napoleon in the Museum of Natural History. Larry is seen making fun of Napoleon's height when she comes in, Larry roping her into the teasing as Napoleon whines in annoyance. Larry asks her where they are going next, leading her to say that they should celebrate by lightening fireworks in the China Museum.
We seen her again in another cutscene, this time where Larry defeated Al Capone in the China Museum. Both her and Larry walk up to where Al is, with Al saying how Larry pay for this before Larry asks Amelia if this looks like it's over or not. Amelia says that it is 'very over' as she crosses her arms, with Larry saying bye to Al Capone.
We see Amelia in the next cutscene that takes place after Larry defeats Ivan the Terrible, where she comes in to tell Larry that something bad is happening. As Larry tries to guess how bad it is, she says it's worse than that before the scene cuts and we open to a new one. This new one starts off with Kahmunrah in front of the portal leading to the underworld, with Amelia pointing out that he is going into the gate. After Larry says that it's not over yet, Amelia states that it sounds familiar, which causes Larry to point this out and ask who's side is she on. After Kahmunrah jumps into the portal, Amelia states that he is getting away before Larry asks if they have to go in there, which they both look at one another and go in.
After Larry defeats Kahmunrah and the Pharaoh is dropped into the purple lake of goo, Amelia and Larry are seen on a swaying building before being shot out of the portal and are thrown to the ground. As they are getting up, Amelia says how Larry had done it before Larry says she wasn't too bad herself, then asks for a favor. As Larry says he needs her help, Amelia says to "Count me in", even though she doesn't know what the request actually is. As Larry asks her about this, she just states that she will help him, which then cuts the scene into a new one. This new cutscene shows Amelia, Jedediah and Larry all flying in a plane together to get them back home while talking to one another before the game ends.
