The 6-9 students had a very interesting field trip to the Natural History Museum. They followed up their Montessori study of “The Timeline of Life” lessons with the visuals and interactive learning featured at “The Ultimate Dinosaur Exhibit.”
Students began their experience by watching the Omnimax movie about dinosaurs which covered much of the information that had been discussed in lessons, as well as a lot of new information. They then walked through the exhibit and saw models of many dinosaurs, stamped pictures of dinosaurs at stations found throughout the exhibit, and interacted with ipads to learn more about the dinosaurs. They also played a computerized game that asked them to manipulate the continental land forms into the giant land mass called Pangea. The children had a wonderful time!
A huge thank you to the following parents who drove and chaperoned at the museum and to Eric Brouwer for sharing pictures.
