School field trip to Explora!

Today on May 4th, the fourth grade went on a

field trip to Explora Children's Science Museum

Everything is a hands-on experience.

Ma got the day off from work and went with us.

This is our class waiting to go in.

We were split into different sections with different guides.

Our section was A and our guide was Andres

We all had to wear orange A stickers.

The first thing we saw was a fountain.

The fountain did a bunch of water patterns

Orion is pushing a button to tell the water to jump.

The guide set a demonstration of a bunch of

water patterns.  It was a really fun show.

Everyone was to have a partner.  Orion's was Hanna.

This section is where everyone could build a house.

Hanna and Orion are building a house.

There is a house already built in the background.

Hanna and Orion are playing different sounds.

Xylophones made of steel, wood, and glass.

Hanna is playing the steel one,

Orion is playing the glass one.

Everyone got to try their shot at making a huge bubble.

It was fun to see the different patterns the bubbles made.

It was fun to see how big they got too.

This is where we got to wear heaphones to hear sound vibrations.

Hanna and Orion are supposed to

use the puzzle and communicate with

the computer.  They did not figure it out.

This is where Orion got to see how momentum works.

This is the place where we get to see water patterns.

We make a maze and see how the ball follows

the water currents.

Up close making the maze with plactc squares.

In this room we got to see air patterns.

Orion is flying the airplane against the wind.

This is the view from where Orion is sitting.

This room is a little kind of "hut". 

There are different pictures on the wall.

When you turn certain lights on, such as the red one,

it brings out the red hue in the picture.

The green light brings out the green hue.

The picture looks different with each light.

Orion is sitting here with all the lights on.
