Second
Graders Enjoy Visit to Museum
|
The second graders at Keane Elementary School
certainly agree with the "2009 Best of the Capital
Region," Times Union poll results which named The
Children's Museum of Science and Technology as
the "best museum for kids." Jamie Daus' and Susan
Look's second grade classes had the opportunity to
visit the museum on November 10 and apply their
science skills during presentations about the
lifecycle of mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
They learned the difference between a complete and
incomplete lifecycle. "What really got them
excited was the fact that they were allowed to touch
the live animals such as the corn snake and box
turtle," said Look.
The students also spent some time exploring
various parts of the museum and completed a
scavenger hunt. They topped off their
adventure in the planetarium where the students
stretched out on cushions on the floor to watch a
favorite show, The Zula Patrol, which was
about weather on Earth and the planets in our solar
system.
