Lots of Field Schools, Eh

A couple months ago my class went to Seattle to learn about the crazy ones of the world, which was inspired by Apples commercial about the crazy ones.

That was the basis for that project and we had to make a video on what makes our person or group of people crazy. My group was focused on the 12th man of the Seattle Seahawks. Its insane what they did, they made it so that the Seahawks had an insane record at home which was something like 28-2 and still counting. The 12th man almost makes it impossible to call a play for the other team. We also went on a duck tour and went to the MOPAP which used to be the EMP.

A couple weeks back we went to Florida to learn about a different project. The best part is that we got to go to Disney World the whole time.

The project topic was what draws us to imaginary worlds. For this project we had to make a video about a ride in Disney World. The ride I chose was Expedtion Everest in the Animal Kingom.  To show what we learned we all made a video. Here is my finished product.

That video is how we were supposed to do the project. We were limited to around 5 minutes because our teacher wanted us to keep the video from being boringly long. I thought that everything in my video went very well and I awensered the question well.

Another thing we did while we were in Florida, was go surfing at Cocoa Beach. I did pretty well I wasnt great but I wasnt bad, some people were able to try and do tricks like hand stands on the board. We did that for probably close to three hours. I think that all of us had a good time.

Proof that I wasn’t the only happy one.

While this whole thing was going on we had vans that were assigned to us. My van had names for all of the other ones, Beluga, Orca/Killer Whale, and the Sea Pen. We had a couple names for our van including the Manatee, which was an inside joke, about one of the people in the van.

Another thing that we did while we were down there was go to Kennedy Space Center. While we were their we got to do this Zero gravity trainer thing which was a harness next to ladder and a weight holding you up. It was cool but the harness kinda put pressure on not that nice of places. Another simulator we did was this G-force spinny thing that spun you in multiple directions at one time. The coolest thing though was the simulator of launching a rocket and landing one with people in part of a rocket and people at mission control. We all had a job and a script. My job was something called flight director which gave me more power than the president, I liked that quite a bit.

The last thing we did was go on a Airboat tour which was really cool because we saw lots of gators. The airboat was insanely loud and with a massive engine so all of us had to wear ear protection. Apparently the gators on the land if we got close enough to them they could get into the boat with ease. Some of the gators were small but others were quite big. After we were done with the tour we got to eat there. I had a Chicken Caesar Salad Rap but my teacher ordered some gator bites. Which were really good, they tasted like a chewy version of chicken.

That is basically everything that we have done on field trips this year, and on those field trips I had a good time, eh.
