The Tacoma Children's Museum field study was an exciting day of discovery for the Bumblebees. They definitely were not ready to leave when the time was up. I will caption the photos this time to give you the sense of the amazing activities in which they took part this day. This first one is a series of tubes with air running through. They adjusted knobs on the tubes to change the flow of air and thereby change the direction the scarf took and the place it exited the tube.

 These students are exploring the climbing area. Stairs, a rock climbing wall and a phosphorescent board to write on all delighted them here.

 This room is the Maker room full of STEAM possibilities.

 There is  a huge sailing ship and when a student pedals, the giant wings flap up and down. There are many chores to be done on two levels of the ship.

 This is the large water area with water tables of all sorts. There are jets and currents. There are sea animals and boats. If it can happen in the world in water it can be imagined here.

Noise cancelling headphones are available in the Maker space for those with sensory concerns.

 A field study in Seattle. An experience with live theatre watching Corduroy at the Seattle Children's Theatre. A joy filled lunch watching and listening to the fountain at the Seattle Center and keeping hungry seagulls at bay. It was a day of wonderful experiences using all the 5 senses they have been studying
