Today we went on our first Field Trip of the year. We visited the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and the Omni Theater there as well. My 3rd graders really enjoyed the exhibits, but the Omni movie "Forces of Nature" was far too scary for them. It was intended for 3rd through 12th grades, but due to the graphic nature of the material (destruction caused by volcanoes, earthquakes, and tornadoes), I believe this movie is best left for older students. We had many students cry, close their eyes, and some even had to be removed from the theater because they were so scared! Thankfully they were able to enjoy the museum exhibits afterwards and brighten their moods!
The Main Entrance is being renovated to display a beam from the World Trade Center.
Fun with a giant Lite Brite!

They made this for me!
Building time!
The Bed of Nails was the highlight of the museum!
The Dino Dig was also a huge hit!
My daughter said I need to get better with blocking the student's faces. Maybe she'll show me some other way to do it, but in the meantime, sorry for the archaic "paint" blocks. :)
