Academy of Natural Sciences

Here is our field trip in pictures from beginning to end.  It was so much fun.  Enjoy.

The bumpy bus ride to Philly


The first place we went was the Inside Outside Room

Ava counted 15 fish in the pond.

 Tarantulas
"Beach Time"

 Cockroaches and Millipedes









 Lunchtime





We did some drawing. Below is what we saw, above is what we did.  Quite Impressive!!!


An Owl Butterfly



 The last thing we did at the Museum was go to a hands on classroom and learned about habitats.
Bearded Dragon Lizard-- desert habitat



Copper Hawk--forest habitat

Opossum --city habitat

 In a rare event, the museum's library was open to the public.  We saw books that were huge in size and over 200 years old.
As you can tell the trip was so busy that some of us fell asleep on the way home.  That is a sign of a great trip.

 When we arrived home to our classroom the  chicken eggs finally arrived.  We will be hatching 3 different types of eggs this year. We have light blue eggs, light brown eggs and dark brown eggs.  The students will learn about the life cycle of the chicken through this hands-on learning experience.  Keep your fingers crossed that at least one will hatch.  I will keep you posted.  It will take 21 days to hatch.
