April 29th, the third and fourth grade classes traveled to the Springfield Science Museum. At the Black Holes Special Exhibition Program, our students were able to have hands-on experiences as they explored the properties of black holes. They even piloted an excursion pod into an enormous black hole at the center of our galaxy! Students received Black Hole Explorer's ID cards to use from home when they visit the museum's website. With this card they will be able to continue their space exploration. We reviewed facts about the planets in the Space Explorations Classroom Program. Students volunteered to demonstrate the rotation of the earth and moon as they orbit the sun. It was a memorable and entertaining model! After a picnic lunch by the Dr. Seuss Sculpture Garden, we went inside the planetarium to learn more about the night sky. It was a wonderful way to extend our understanding of space!
