The week before the Fall Break was loaded with fun activities and events. The first event that happened was the field trip on Tuesday to the Lawrence Hall of Science, there were also soccer tryouts on Tuesday and Wednesday then on Thursday there was the volleyball tournament and on Friday - the dance
Tuesday, October 2nd all of the sixth grade boarded buses and drove to the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California. The bus ride was long but it was worth it. We got there bright and early in the morning and at 8:00 sharp we left the school. We thought that it was a very fun and educational field trip and everybody else seemed to have a great time.
There were three main parts to the field trip, the exploration time, the lunchtime, and the lab time.The Lawrence Hall of Science had many hands-on exhibits. One of the things we got to see was a giant globe that showed water currents. They did an experience where they dropped shoes into the ocean and people found them on the beach. It showed scientists how water currents worked. We even got to see some animals, like a snake and some bugs.
The most unique thing we did on this field trip was dissecting squids! First we watched a video about squids eating, swimming and hunting. Then we learned about the squids structures and functions. One of the structures that we learned about is the ink sac and the function is to scare away predators, when the squid is threatened. During the dissection we learned where the beak is and were the spine is on the squid.
Since it was clear out there was an area that had an amazing view where you could see all of Berkley and parts of San Francisco. We also could see Alcatraz and some other islands from the deck as well. This field trip was very fun and we are looking forward to more!
I like how you added all the parts of the feild trip and you were very descriptive about the squids. Your blog was very detailed andit was interesting to read. Did you think of writing the rest of the week or did you just think of writing more on this?

DeleteWe just decided to write about the on field trip.
DeleteI liked how you described how was are field strip and showed good perseverance.
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at the Lawrence Hall of Science too. I never got to see the snake though. Where was it? I liked how you gave examples of functions and structures of a squid. I didn't like dissecting the squid. My favorite part of the field trip was making a stop-motion video.
