What We Learned Today...December 4th

Today we had the priviledge of spending the entire day at the Science Centre. To start out our morning we spent the first hour participating in a scavenger hunt around the Science Centre called the "Enviro Games Cup".  For this activity, students were given booklets with various questions and tasks to accomplish that dealt with Ecosystems and Biodiversity.  This was awesome because it was focused on everything we have been learning about so far this year in Science!  Once the students finished up the scavenger hunt they were given the next hour to explore the rest of the exhibits around the Science Centre before we gathered for Lunch. 

Working hard on this morning!

After lunch we quickly headed over to the IMAX to check out the short documentary, "Kenya 3D: Animal Kingdom".   The documentary focused on the diverse wild life in Kenya that features such aniamls as lions, African elephants, Cape buffalo, leopards and black rhinos, just to name a few.  The film also explored the journey of two young Maasai as they participated in their ritual safari, which means "long journey" in Swahili.  The documentary itself was amazing and I couldn't believe how in sync it was with everything we've been learning this year in Science.  Today was a great day and I was really impressed with how well each and every student represented themselves and our class at the Science Centre. (Although I didn't expect any less, as we have one amazing class!)
