This field trip provided endless wonders, inspired thoughtful questioning, and gave us an opportunity to be scientists.  At the aquarium, the students from divisions 5 and 6 had a structured 5 minute observation time where they tracked the swimming patterns of a sea creature.  Back in class, they have been working hard to convert their data into graphs and compare it with classmates.  We are even making connections and interpretations as to what the data is telling us about these creatures.  

Some of the students hard at work on their five-minute on-site observation.

Invaluable learning!  Thank you to all the parent supervisors who helped throughout the day and also helped to facilitate the scientific observation. Thank you also to the PAC for your financial support of this type of enrichment in our learning.
