First science field trip of the year! Wooohoooo!
On Tuesday, the entire fourth grade "Dream Team" made its way over to the Blue Hills Reservation. Having never been over there myself, I was very excited to tag along and I was not disappointed! The trip was split into two parts, our first being a tour of one of the longest running weather observatories in the United States and the second part being a hike down the hill. The kids (and teachers) were enthusiastic, science-focused, and ready for a great day!
The weather observatory was fantastic. We learned the history of the station, got to look at some really neat weather tools and then stood atop the tower for a great 80 mile view of Massachusetts. The visit was a great compliment to the weather unit Ms. Baugher is currently working on in science class.
Our hike down the hill was also fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Our guide told us about the Reservation's history as we looked at rocks and plant life along the way. We also got a mini lecture about the long horned beetle and what we can do as citizens to save our forests. very informative!
Check out the pictures below and if interested, check out the Blue Hills website and visit it yourself!
