Our field trip to Edmonton started bright and early at 6:30 in the morning. When we arrived, students took in a first presentation on light. Students were able to put their prior knowledge to good use as they experimented with tools that showed the movement of light. Next, we took in a science demo called Spectacular Spectrum! It takes about light and color for grades 1 to 6 and really showed how our understanding of light evolves through grade school. After lunch and some running around, students got to explore the galleries! They touched on all of our science outcomes and involved lots of hands on exploration. Favorites were the Science Garage and Body Fantastic! Lastly, and probably the highlight for many kids, we participated in a robotics program! They learned about real life robotics and were introduced to LEGO Mindstorm. Students had to work in teams to program robots through different challenges!
