The 9th grade students went to Natural History Museum for day trip last Thursday.
The museum is located next to the central park in New York city and on that day many other school's students came to the museum may be for the same reason.
That was the 2nd time to visit the museum.
Last time I went to there with my parents 2 years ago.
In the morning, I walked around with about 6 students and a teacher.
The museum was so big and it was a long walking for us, so we got tired soon.
But the teacher told about some information about the traditional things and the animals.
My favorite part of the museum was the cornerthat introduce about the mammal in Africa and the traditional things of native Indians.
Some of the mammal were a little small but most of them were too big to see and I was surprised about the size of them and the characteristics of their lives.
And also there were some interesting things about Ainu that is the kind of traditional Japanese group such as the instruments of them and the weapon.
In the afternoon, we broke up into groups for the geography project.
We should research the animals or things that represent the five themes of geography that are movement, region, location, interaction and place.
I thought the project was easy to find before started researching.
But the researching with group members was a little hard, because we couldn't correct the things from the same area and we had a hard time to find the place that shows these things.
As a result we got much of information about the project!!!
We found the bone of mammoth and some strange birds that live in New York.
I haven't get the result of the project yet, so I don't know about it, but I was satisfied with the final draft of the project.
Walking the large museum made us tired, but that was a great time to study the mechanism of our lives and to spend a time with my friends and teachers.
I'm not sure about the next year's day trip where will we go, but may be I will be able to enjoy ourselves next year.
Next year's trip is to the Brooklyn Museum. I went there this year with the 10th graders. It's a cool museum, but the best thing is it's next door to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a really great place that's very big. I hope you get a chance to visit both the museum and the garden next year.
