Elizabeth's Class Field Trip to Science & Technology Museum

The theme that Elizabeth's class was studying recently was the earth. They learned all about the earth's crust and fossils and volcanoes, and earthquakes. To put some more sense to the teaching the kindergarten class took a small field trip to the Science and Technology Museum.

This is a really nice museum with many exhibits and many of them are interactive. The classes were able to see a volcano go off and were able to experience what it would be like to be in an earthquake. That was pretty scary and made me think a lot of last year's earthquake in Sichuan and how the children there must have felt.

After that, they had some time to play in the children's area. Here there are different exhibits demonstrating concepts such as heart rate, physics, and oscillation. They had fun and the parents liked it also because it was only a half day field trip!
