Today we took our second group of campers for a field trip to Hiller Aviation Museum. This is our first summer at Taft Community School in Redwood City and we have a great group of campers enrolled both from Taft and from other schools on the peninsula. Campers began the day devising questions they wanted to answer about flight, the history of flight and airplanes, and other topics related to engines, helicopters, women pilots and what makes planes fly. We asked each of them to research a "fun fact" to share with the group on our return. See the photos of our activities at the museum below.
In the afternoon campers continued drafting their "flight" stories by adding further complications to the plot and including dialogue. We shared our stories in progress with our small groups. Topics include skydiving, searching for lost parents on the moon, a spaceship with only 100 hours left of oxygen and many more imaginative plots.
