A Tale of Two Field Trips
 
The Museum


Visiting the museum was an awesome experience. We got to see actual
dinosaur bones, and we were even allowed to touch and hold some of them. The guide
told us exciting stories about the archeologist discovering the bones and interesting
dinosaur facts. We also got to see treasures that were buried in ancient Egyptian
tombs. We even saw a real mummy that was in a glass box. There is so much more to
see at the museum. I hope we go again next year.

The Virtual Museum


Our class went to the computer lab today and took a virtual field trip to a
museum in London, England. I like the way you got to choose which tour you wanted
to take. I toured the room with the royal jewels. There was a scepter that had a
diamond in it that was over 500 carats. Then I visited a room that had ancient
torture devices. They even had a video that showed how they were used. The
virtual field trip was really cool, and I can return to see more at any time since I
don’t have to travel to get to it.
