The Museum Trip



Before the Museum Trip
Tomorrow we are going to the museum. I still do not know what we are going to do but I do know that it is going to be fun. I think it will be something to do with natural disasters because that is our subject for this term. I've heard that there is something to do with a dark room but I'm not sure.

After the Museum Trip
Yesterday we went to the museum, it ended up to be about tectonic plates. We got to go into a dark blowup room that looked a bit like an igloo. Our guide had a projector thingy that showed the world and where all of the tectonic plates are. After that we went to the area that is all about dinosaurs and other ancient stuff including our earth. We had to decide if we should or could live there. Two of the three times we decided not to.

Presenting Digital Exhibits

At the end of Term 1 we presented our inquiry museum exhibits David brought his axolotl and there were lots of awesome exhibits. We all split into groups of about 6 to present our work, the reasoning behind this was that we wanted to alleviate the stress of presentation.
The things we had to do were write a report about an interesting animal's adaptation or how a group of people have adapted to their environment. We had to present it in an inventive way with a visual aid. We had about 3 weeks to do our inquiry. Mine was about mustelids. I thought it was a fun, interesting project and I enjoyed it.
