The Planetarium


the  Planetarium was awesome. We did all sorts of things like using the power of air to make hoops, we walked over a highway with little glass patches that you can walk on. Those really freaked me out. Some people to stand on a scale that told them how much it would cost to go to space.

Later on we went all the way to the top of the science center and we laid on the ground and look up at the ceiling. Soon the show began. A person [I don’t know what her name was] showed us so many constellations in the sky that was projected on the ceiling. At the end of the field trip the hole grade stood in front of this big [well to us it was big] jet and took a grade photo. In the end I think the science center is a place that you should go to to just have fun.

       the planetarium was really fun, we got split into two groups, one group went to the maker space,the other group went to a place called mission mars. my favorite place was mission mars because we got to control a small rover in a fake mars environment, but if you went over to the glass barricade, the rover there actually moved! i was thiiis close to using it but we had to go. the other place was pretty cool to, we got to see how a rovers legs moved, we made sails ans flew them over vents, and we got to even create our own simulation of a rover on mars! it took us awhile,but we soon managed to do it.we ran out of time again and had to go to a show. 


the show was also pretty awesome to, it was all about the sky and how we can see different constellations in the sky. we saw orion, my personal favorite, and the best star name out there, serious. 
we learned star from a planet because  stars twinkle, planets do not.
there was so many constellations we saw that i never heard about, like one is not a constellation because it's just a line. but finally, we had to go home, we all had to do questions, or do a blog, and i hoped you enjoyed this blog.

Our Field Trip To The Planetarium By: Lily

Today we went to the planetarium on a field trip. When we got there we split up into two groups. One that went to the “ experimental” exhibit and another that went to the Space themed exhibit. One of the activities in the experimental exhibit was boat racing. We designed and made sails using fabric and other various materials. Then we put them on a boat base and raced them. when we pressed the green button air would start shooting out and the boats would start moving.  When we switched to the space themed exhibit we saw a lot of pictures but there were a couple of main attractions one was this giant tube with poles on the sides. We would try to climb up the tube. It was surprisingly easy. Another attraction were the workout machines. There was a bike type thing and there was more of a full body workout machine. Overall 5B would be awesome astronauts.
