Locust Grove Field Trip

We will be meeting by the front doors before 10:30am on May 1st. We will be teaming up younger kids with the older kids so that everyone can participate and have a good time! You should bring lunch. We can eat outside for our break. They expect the trip to run until 1:30. This trip has a minimum of 12 but it included parents. The cost is $14 per person. I only need 1 parent for every 4 kids. Most parents will be able to drop off for this trip.

Telegraphy-90 minutes

Telegraphy introduces students to the natural phenomena and technology that made telegraph communication possible. Students construct basic electrical circuits in order to generate signals and communicate using lights and electromagnets. Activity highlights include hands-on experiments, decoding messages in Morse code, and a hunt for artifacts in the Morse Gallery.
And
House Hunt- 45 minutes
Working in teams of 2-3, students are presented with descriptions of artifacts that were used in the Young family household in the early 1900’s. Their challenge is to locate these objects in the mansion and learn their functions. The search list includes simple machines and tools, as well as technologies used for lighting, heating, cooking, cleaning, refrigeration, communication, security and entertainment.
