Emily's third grade class visited the Arizona Science Center for its final field trip of the year. I had the opportunity to chaperone this trip and it was a lot of fun.
Emily and Ashlynn in the digital room. This room dealt with all 'new age' computerized concepts. The girls were taking a photo of themselves and then watching as it broke apart into pieces and then was sent around the world on the internet to a new location.
The girlies in my group on ths really weird rubber mat that had two inch tall fairly hard rubber nubbs which when you stepped/laid on supported you but it just felt odd :)
Alexa, Ashlynn, Karah and Emmy
Emily on the bed of nails. You could lay upon this table and when you pushed a button 4000 nails came up out of the table. I tried it as well and it felt kind of cool. Yes the nails were pointy and once you got over the concept that all these nails were coming toward you and relaxed it was almost therapeutic!
This was a favorite of everyone! The exhibit was called The Forces of Nature and as you stood on this platform there were four large screens up high that played a movie about the weather that happens on earth. As the movie plays the platform shakes and bangs for earthquakes, it rains and wind blows for hurricanes and tornadoes, hot heat lamps come on for the desert(felt kind of like before we came inside, haha ), lights flash and the ground shakes for thunder and lightning. It was a lot cooler that it sounds and of course girls being girls screamed and screeched when the rain and major winds came.
The girls on the steps before we boarded the bus. From left to right, Emily, Tia, Ashlynn, Shayla, Alexa and Karah. They were a great group of girls and we had a lot of fun touring the center. It was nice to get to know some of the kids in Emily's class.
