Personal Narrative: My Field Trip To Flint Riverquarium

During the field trip, which was held Thursday, February 22, 2018, I have made a lot of

realizations. This was the most spectacular and interesting trip ever! First, we went to the

Thronateeska Heritage Center where we watched two movies. One was called Oasis In Space

and the other was called Plastic Paradise. In between the movies, we went on a scavenger hunt

to find objects and learn about them. They were in categories from astronomy to meteorology to

natural science. After that we went to the Flint Riverquarium to do another scavenger hunt,

exhibit animals in the aviary and water, and learn about herpetology in the lab. Our very first stop was the planetarium to view a movie called Oasis In Space. That is

when we met Ms.

The dome screen was such a picturesque thing to look at in the

planetarium. I can still remember what the narrator said, “Water, our most precious source.

Without it, life would not exist.”

Subsequently, we went on an entertaining science scavenger hunt. There were nine

sections of the museum hunt. There was archeology, hydrology, paleontology, timeline,

astronomy, meteorology, natural science, air and space, and virtual science. In the natural science

section, the kaleidoscope was out of order. “Oh no, the kaleidoscope is not working!” Langston

(a girl in my group) said. During the scavenger hunt, we (my group) passed by the meteorology

area and found a green screen that you could go in front of and pretend to be a meteorologist or

weatherman. Then you could see yourself in the television screen to the right. In the virtual

science unit, we got to play many different cool games. We had to stand in front of another green

screen and then look the television screen and move around to play the game. For example; we

had to jump to block the hole above us, etc. In the astronomy category, we had to draw a

constellation from the big circle wall and we had many to choose from. Overall, we learned a
