Field Trip Day!

Fifth graders had an action-packed day today! First, we were bussed over to Henry Ford Community College, where we were met by Mr. Murrell, our tour guide. We split into three groups and rotated through three stations. One station was located in the science building at HFCC, which was the planetarium. We learned about the stars in the fall sky, and all about how airplanes fly. Next, we took a walking tour of the solar system! HFCC has a scale model of the solar system on campus, and we had a guided tour by 2 astronomy students! Finally, we headed next door to UM-D where we took a tour of the observatory, and learned all about telescopes. We completed our field trip at Mercury Lanes, with a game of cosmic bowling!
