What a GREAT field trip we went on yesterday. Virginia Air and Space helped me arrange a wonderful "Scream Machine" day for the homeschoolers.
We began with a demo of the "simple machines". This was basic for many of the kids - but a good review. Then we saw an incredible IMAX titled THRILL RIDE. Finally, the kids broke down into two different age groups and learned about Newton's Laws of Physics and using everything they learned constructed their own "scream machines" - roller coasters.
There are so many field trips that don't reach out and give you what you expect ! This was NOT one of them. The "museum educators" were fabulous ! They engaged the kids. We had five year old to fifteen year olds and they all had a GREAT time.
What an awesome time ! We are already talking about going back for another "theme day" at Virginia Air and Space.
