This year my biology classes will take a field trip to the California Science Center located in Exposition Park, Los Angeles. This museum inspires science learning and engages visitors with the many permanent and changing exhibits located within the center.
The field trip will take place on Saturday, June 8, 2012 and we will be meeting in front of the auditorium at 8:30 am to discuss the rules and schedule for the day. The buses will leave promptly at 9 am so it is crucial that you arrive to school on time. Each student will need to have their parents sign a permission form and, due to budget constraints, will probably have to pay $2-5 depending on how many students decide to go. The money will go toward payment of the school buses.
Here are some of the exhibits that we will get to see:
World of Life: explore the connections between all life forms with a trip down the Life Tunnel; contains five life processes galleried: Energy Factory, Supply Network, Control Center, Defense Line, and Life Source.
Creative World: explore the inventions and environments humans create to meet their needs for communication, transportation, and structures.
Air and Space Exhibits: explore real aerospace artifacts and discover how scientific principles affect
aircraft and spacecraft design; includes the new Space Shuttle Endeavor exhibit - get to see a real space shuttle up close!!
Ecosystems: immerse yourself in Earth’s
ecosystems, from the simplest to the most complicated, to discover how life on
our planet is shaped by its unique geophysical and biological processes; includes 8 zones: extreme, forest, river, island, global, L.A., rot room, family discovery room.
