Hannah's 3rd grade class took a field trip to the Chabot Space Museum.
She had a really interesting class lab where they learn "how to live in space".
She got to pretend how to repair something while wearing a partial space suit...
... testing how strong their lungs are in order to live and breathe to survive in space...
...testing throwing accuracy while wearing some non-normal eye wear...
... practice balancing in zero gravity...
... and being airborne!
Big surprise for Hannah.. her BFF, Marissa, from SoCal, was up visiting and came with her family to the museum to see her! Thanks Lisa for bring JD and Marissa to visit with us even though it was such a short period of time!
This trip to the Chabot Space Museum coincided with Hannah's 3rd grade Open House Project which was on the theme of... can you guess? SPACE!
When Emily was in third grade she made the consellation, the Big Dipper. Easy design... simple materials... no mess! Daddy was happy!

Hannah, on the other hand, wanted to make the ISS (aka International Space Station). She was very impressed with it when we visited a model of it in Seattle and Florida.

It was a little bit more complex but not too bad my husband said. Hannah did the majority of the work of cutting, painting and gluing. So glad I saved those paper towel and toilet paper rolls and egg cartons!
