Randall Planetarium at Mt. SAC

On Friday, we got to take our first field trip to the Randall Planetarium at Mt. SAC!

Our group got to go into the planetarium first. We learned a lot about our changing skies, including the constellations as well as the phases of the moon.

I was able to snap a few pictures before the presentation started. Thank you again to all of the wonderful chaperones who came with us!

Ugh...so sorry about this blurry picture! I'm terrible!

After the planetarium show, we got to build our rockets in preparation for the launch.

We went outside to launch our rockets...we were shocked to see how far they shot up!

It was VERY difficult to catch them!

Isaiah was the first to catch his rocket! Way to go!

We had so much fun no matter if we caught one or not! 

And finally, it was time for lunch! It was a perfect day for an outdoor picnic.

All in all, it was a wonderful day! I think everyone slept well that night. Thank You, Lord, for keeping us safe, and for a fun day of learning. 

 

Static Electricity Experiment

I finally purchased a balloon inflater, just in time for our STATIC ELECTRICITY experiment day!              🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

 

25 balloons? No problem!

First, the prep work. We cut out fish shapes from tissue paper so we can "go fish" with our electrically charged balloons!

Listen to the sound of fun learning!

Then, we got to experiment with various shapes.

Of course we had to try the good ole' balloon and hair trick:) 

Fun was had by all. We love science experiment days!
