Water Ventures Learning Lab...

Last week my class had a nice surprise organized from 
our awesome Science Leadership Team captain.
Kim teaches 4th grade, but invited my class
to tag along with hers. 
We are so glad that invitation was extended to us.

Enter...
Water Ventures Florida’s Learning Lab is a traveling science center.
 This amazing vehicle is actually a 53 foot semi-trailer which
 has been customized to provide a platform for
 educational outreach programs.  The truck assembly 
will travel across Florida visiting schools, communities, and events.
 A dynamic staff of trained educators will travel with the truck 
and they will interact directly with the public at every venue.

This was a super cool adventure for us.
Have any of my Florida bloggy buddies experienced this?

Don't live in Florida, but want to do a virtual field trip?

Programs to choose from:  Alligators, Springs Around the World, 
Are You Smarter Than a Crayfish?, and Reptile Adaptations

This was a definite winner in my book!

I've been super lazy after returnin' from our overnight
trip to Sea World and haven't felt like
bein' Bloggy McBloggerson.
I will share my trip soon though.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

  2. What an awesome experience! I wonder how this compares to the cost of a field trip. So many of the schools in my area have banned them due to budget restrictions.

  5. I love this! I need to look into something like this in my area. As you can tell I'm catching up on reading through my favorite blogs! I was on a hiatus for a bit.
