Museum of Science and Industry



We will be traveling to the Museum of Science and Industry on Friday, Feb. 12. Although there are lots of fabulous things to see at the museum, our focus is on social studies and the Industrial Revolution. There is a coal mine exhibit that has been there since the museum opened.

This is what the museum website tells us about the exhibit:

"Step on the hoist and take a narrated ride to the bottom of a mine shaft. You’ll examine the evolution of technology used in mining coal, and experience first-hand the work environment of the U.S. mining industry."

Oh, boy.

While we are there, we will fill out an observations form and write a summary of our trip for homework, due Monday, Feb 15th.

Note about Valentine's Day: We will have a Fun Friday Valentine Exchange. If students bring treats to share, they will bring them home to eat.
