On a cold frosty morning Grade 7 headed out to visit the Carl Bosch Museum. At the museum they and had a workshop on magnetism and electricity. In the workshop they built their own little electric motors that they could take home with then at the end of the day. They also had a chance to visit the current exhibition on Space, where they could learn about the planets as well as try out some VR (virtual reality) headsets where they headed into space to mine a planet!

Quotes from some of the students:

“I always love to learn and now I finally got the experience to learn about how all electric motors work”

“I found this field trip extremely enjoyable , as we learnt much information on how to make an electric motor”

“I liked building the electromagnet and also how we got to take it home!”

“I through the field trip was especially interesting.  Especially when we built the electric motor”

“I found the electric motor very interesting and the science behind it was cool”

”I liked the VR headsets!”

All in all a successful trip that was enjoyed by all!
