Discovery World
As part of the science curriculum, the upper elementary
students studied the weather, space, coral reefs,
electricity, plants, magnets and simple machines.
Discovery World in Milwaukee was great place to gain
a deeper understanding of these concepts. Students
were really able to get a taste and a feel for the science
concepts learned in school.
One of the best parts of the trip was going into the Hive
3D Environment. In the Hive, everyone wore 3D glasses
and felt like they were flying! They had fun identifying
all the planets in the Hive too. Discovery World also has
great gadget that was like a giant hamster wheel. In order
to make the wheel turn students had to run as fast as they
could. The fourth and fifth graders also explored the BIG
fan, which required the use of three students working
together to make the blades spin. Discovery World was a
great place to activate brain cells and keep the students’
love of learning alive!
