Field Trip to Morehead Planetarium

Has your family ever been to Morehead Planetarium?  All Kindergarten students from Glenwood went on a field trip in early April and learned about many fascinating science topics!

First, students saw a planetarium show called "One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure."  Students learned about different parts of the night sky like the moon, stars, and constellation.  A special feature of the show was that Big Bird's friend from China, Hu Hu Zhu, taught about ways China and the night sky as seen from China are similar to and different from the United States.  Our students especially enjoyed singing along with "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in Chinese!

After the planetarium show, we visited the Science Live stage to learn about Magnificent Matter.  Students learned about air pressure, chemicals with unusual properties, and energy.  Check out the slideshow below to see our students enjoying Science Live!
