MacMillian Space Centre

Two weeks ago we had a great field trip to the Space Centre in British Columbia.  Arranged by a homeschooling friend of mine we weren't sure if we would know many people in the group but in fact we knew 3 out of the 6 families. Two of them were cub scout families.  It's so nice when all of us have friends to hang out with on field trips. 

We learned about a day in space that focused a lot on the obstacles associated with eating and going to the bathroom.  The boys loved that.  Then we sat in comfy chairs and viewed a planetarium show. 

The whole ceiling seemed to open up into space. 



After that the kids in our group had a private class on phases of the moon, the tilt of the earth, seasons and how it all goes together.  It was a great day of learning.
