3rd Grade Over the Moon about JPL

3rd Grade had a blast learning all about the newest NASA rover that's heading to Mars in July! 

On Wednesday, the 3rd grade went to JPL (Jet Propulsion Labratory) as a science field trip to learn about NASA's newest rover (yet to be named), which is scheduled to leave for Mars in July. Students learned about what NASA hopes the rover will do and find. Students saw the clean room where JPL builds and works on the rover and found out that rover team members take an air shower before they enter the clean room. Students also learned that our earth is heating up faster than it ever has in history and we need to take care of it.  

After so much learning, they headed to a park for lunch and chatted about all they'd seen at JPL. Everyone was buzzing with excitement. After a little energy-releasing play time, we headed home.
All in all, it was an excellent day!
