Field Trip Fun
Recently we went on a field trip with some other homeschoolers to see a presentation at a science museum. Hailey and I had lots of fun (while Hunter had fun with grandma š ).
We learned what a comet is made of and saw a little demonstration of how they work.
We learned how far apart the planets in our solar system are. Ā To try to give the kids an idea of how far apart the planets are, each child represented a different planet and stood in a line a certain distance apart. Ā The kids thought it was great that some of them had to go all the way outside.

Hailey holding a meteorite and I can’t remember what the other rock was called š Ā The meteorite was magnetic, smooth and much heavier than the other rock. Ā The other rock looked like it had tiny little holes in it. Ā If anyone knows the name of the other rock, please let me know š
She also made a glow worm
We ended our field trip with the kids checking out some telescopes.
It was lots of fun and we both learned a lot!!
