On Monday, November 9, our class traveled to the Tellus Northwest Georgia Science Museum for a field trip! We learned a lot about bugs, including their differences and similarities, habitats, and roles in their environments. There were three stations to the trip. In one station, the students listened to a lesson about the three body parts of bugs - head, thorax, and abdomen. Then, they made their own spider clips to take home. In the second station, the students went into the theater for an interactive lesson about bees. They learned the role of the queen, workers, and drones. They also learned about the life cycle of the bee. In the final station, the students had a lesson in the giant tree in the
My Big Backyard section of the museum, where they learned about comparing and contrasting bees and moths. Then, they got some time to free play and explore in the
My Big Backyard section - what fun!
Because our class was the largest class from CPS on the trip, and because we had three teachers with Mrs. Jones, Ms. Gina, and our KSU student assistant Ms. Hamby in attendance, our class volunteered to split into three groups to make our Tellus tour groups even. So, we don't have as many pictures as normal this trip because Mrs. Jones, Ms. Gina, and Ms. Hamby were passing the camera around between the groups, trying to make sure we had a picture of everyone. Here is a Smilebox Slideshow of the fun pictures we got of our students on this trip!
