Cosmosphere Field Trip
May 6, 2008 

Middle School left KSD at 5am and arrived back to KSD at 10:20pm.  We traveled to Hutchinson, KS and visited one of the top 3 space museums in the world!

On May 6, Middle School traveled to one of the premier space museums in the world, located in Hutchinson, KS .  We saw rockets and learned about rocket history in our museum tour.  The planetarium showed us about the Milky Way galaxy and constellations.  The IMAX theatre movie was entitled “Sea Monsters” and was about the sea dinosaurs of Kansas when we were under an ancient ocean.  Dr. Goddard’s Lab was awesome.  Dr. Goddard was the father of rocketry and we got a demonstration of Isaac Newton’s 3^rd Law of Motion, that of action and reaction.

 “I never experienced an IMAX theatre before!  It was awesome when the Kansas  sea dinosaurs were swimming right at us!”  Nathan Rageth

“The planetarium showed us the sunset and how the stars came out. Our home galaxy is the Milky Way.  We had a class in Dr. Goddard’s Lab.  He showed us that liquid oxygen is actually “dry” when we put our finger in it!”   Frank Sbisa 

“The constellation I liked best was the bull.  I did not know that stars had different colors. I liked the museum tour with the Black Bird SR-71!”  Tim Laudick
