SC Field Trip to Wing Luke Museum

By:

The Friday Field Trip class went to the Wing Luke Museum in the Seattle’s Chinatown-International District today.  On our visit we had a chance to travel back in time to the year 1910.  We learned about what is it must have felt like for all the Asian Pacific immigrants who settled here so many years ago.  We then toured the Yick Fung Company Mercantile and the historic Chinatown hotel. While inside the Mercantile, we were transported back in time, as the store was preserved to it’s authentic state.  As we toured the 100 year hotel, we learned that the 103 room hotel would house up to 20,000 guests a night.  Talk about tight quarters.  It was amazing to see where so people from Japan, China, and the Philippines first lived when they immigrated to the United States.  After the conclusion of our tour, we walked to Uwajimaya Asian Grocery store and ate lunch in their food court.  Students tried various Asian cuisine, including udon noodles, tempura, yakisoba and sushi.  This was a highly enjoyable field trip for us all.

 

 

 

Seattle Aquarium, Last Field Trip Of The Year For The SC!

By:

The South Campus went to the Seattle Aquarium today for their final field trip of the school year.
It was a great success.  They started the day in the classroom with one of the Seattle Aquarium’s Biologist for the Hand-on Tidepool Wonders class.  In the class they learned all about marine invertebrates (animals without backbones) and then had a chance to study and touch these amazing living creatures.  The kids had a great time sticking their hands in the icy cold water and touching many cool creature including starfish, sea cucumbers, crabs, and mollusks.  Once the class ended, the kids had a chance to explore the rest rest of the aquarium.  We even were able to see the harbor seals eat their lunch: they were definitely a bit hit with everyone.
Before heading back to the bus, many of the students took a ride on the Seattle Great Wheel, located next door to the aquarium.  It was a memorable day.  A perfect way to end a great year of South Campus field trips!

Museum of History and Industry, South Campus Field Trip

By:

The South Campus Friday Field Trip Class visited the Museum of History and Industry on April 19.  Our adventure started at the museum with the Cracking the Code Tour. The students were put into groups and given an ancient artifact. They then had the task of figuring out what is was, what time period it was from,  and what it was used for. Once we had all the information, the kids gave group presentations to share what they had learned.
Next, we were off to explore the gallery with an interactive iPad Scavenger Hunt.  We started with early civilization in the Pacific Northwest,  went though the gold rush era, railroads, wartime…and up to the present.  We saw a lot of artifacts from the Seattle World’s Fair and other famous artifacts from Seattle. It was a great walking history lesson of the State of Washington.  The field trip enjoyed by all.

EMP: SC Friday Field Trip

By:

The South Campus went on their monthly Friday field trip to the EMP.  They started their adventure with the Sounds of Science tour.  The kids learned about pitch, tone, hertz, etc.  It was very interactive and everyone got to experiment with sound.  They even made their own percussion instrument out of an egg shaker and got to play on the guitars.  After the tour,  the group explored the museum on their own, enjoying Sound Stage, Sci Fi museum and video game exhibit.

Science Center Field Trip

By:

There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a butterfly break free from its Chrysalis and emerge into the world! On Friday, our South Campus students experienced this phenomenon first-hand on their monthly field trip at the Pacific Science Center. Our students enjoyed the day exploring new concepts, participating in exhibits and experiments while expanding their knowledge. The invigorating day came to an end by laying under the stars in the planetarium, watching the lights illuminate the skies and sharing observations from the day’s events.
