Hutchinson Field Trip

Today we traveled to Hutchinson for our end of the year field trip.


When we first arrived at the Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center we watched a movie called The Last Reef in the iMax theatre.


Quick class picture!


Next we headed off to Dr. Goddard's Lab. There we learned lots of interesting facts about Dr. Goddard & his rocket exploration!


Mrs. Robson was called up to explore the liquid oxygen--a key ingredient in rocket launching. 


We even saw an explosion! 


...and rocket power!






After we left the Cosmosphere we went to the Dillon Nature Center for a picnic lunch.


Our lunchroom guest...


After lunch we headed out to the pond to do a little hand fishing. Here, we're discussing the food chain.



Getting ready to fish!


Collection jars....





Then we went inside to take a closer look at our findings under the microscope. 



What an educational trip we had! :)
