It was all smiles after the Year 4 students’ exciting and meaningful field trip to Stone Mineral Park! Our current unit of inquiry explores Earth’s geography and landforms and how Earth’s changes affect human interactions and settlement. Students experienced a guided and interactive tour through the museum to visit different exhibitions. The students showed that they were knowledgeable communicators when they told the tour guide about what they had been learning at school and inquirers when they asked questions to learn more. Exhibitions included information about our planet and solar system, landforms, minerals, and fossils. Students also had an amazing time hunting for precious minerals. They were equipped with a shovel and basket as they dug through the sand to find minerals and stones. The goal was to inspire students to learn more about our planet through science, respect nature, and take care of the Earth’s resources.
