Science Center Field Trip

Friday, April 17, 2009
On Wednesday, I went with Chloe's preschool class on a field trip to a local science center that teaches children about space and NA*SA missions.

The program was geared to the preschool class of four & five year olds and focused on harnessing the power of air to move rockets into space. The program was very engaging and lots of fun.

Chloe getting to see what it is like in an astronauts sleeping bag.
Trying on a space helmet. The instructor was trying to have the kids solve how astronauts scratch their face in outer space. Chloe decided to just scratch it with her hand, which wasn't quite the point of the experiment.

Strapped into the simulator. The kids got to sit inside a replica of a space shuttle. It didn't move and they got to watch a video on how astronauts live in space.
