Field Trip to the National Science Museum
Yesterday, in conjunction with this week's focus on extinct animals, the children and counselors at GKA took a trip to the Ueno National Science Museum. Everyone was excited to see fossils and skeletons of the different types of dinosaurs and ancient animals they had read and wrote about earlier in the week. Despite the early August heat, everyone in the group was enthusiastic and full of energy throughout the entire trip, even on the journey to and from the museum. Highlights of the trip included exploring a floor full of interactive science experiments which explained various phsyical and electronic phenomena, observing the vertical and horizontal motions of a gigantic whale's jaw, and of course seeing the life sized remains of tyrannosauruses, supersaureses and stegosauruses. As a new counselor in the summer program, it was a pleasure and a joy to work with and explore together with the children this week.
