Science Museum of Minnesota/State Capitol Field Trip-Lots of Pictures

Where to begin, students had a wonderful time on the first day of the field trip.  Everyone is extremely tired and sleeping as I write this.  I thought I would share some videos, photo's and experiences from this first day.  Most of the photos are of the group I was with, so if you or your children have other photos or video to share, send it to me and I will gladly put them on the blog.  Students first left the school at 12:30 today and before 2:00 we were at the front steps of the Capitol.  We were given a one-hour tour that was capped off by a visit from Representative Gruenhagen who is from the Glencoe-Silver Lake area and our State Representative.  Following this we were off to the Science Museum where we spent the first day exploring the museum, getting introductions, playing a game, eating and snacking, and completing about 45 minutes of science experiments related to weather, KARE 11 and KSTP 5 were both in attendance and may have caught a glimpse of us on the 10:00 news!!!

 Lots of fun and learning took place.  After tonight, we will arise at 6:00 am and get ready for breakfast, go to another science show, and watch the Omnitheater presentation on tornadoes.  Look for more photos and video soon.
