On January 29, the grade 8's went to the Manitoba Museum where they explored various components of museum's vast offerings. Students took part in a hands-on Mummies Workshop where they learned about and explored the history and process of ancient Egyptian Mummification rituals. They also explored the National Geographic Earth Explorers Exhibit, complete with interactive App on their iPads to enhance their understanding of the jobs scientists and photographers experience while researching animals within their natural habitats around the globe.
Any field trip to the museum would not be complete without a tour of the galleries, including Earth History, Boreal Forest, Nonsuch, Parklands/Grasslands, Métis, and Urban galleries. Students participated in a scavenger hunt activity as they explored on a self-guided tour.
The next Grade 8 filed trip will be on February 19 to the Festival du Voyageur.
