Report from the field...

The fieldtrip to Moon Marbles was a lot of fun, or in the words of at least one of the students, it was "utterly awesome"! The trip began with a live demonstration of a marble being made and decorated. We watched glass go from sticks to a round glowing blob to a white marble. This was then decorated with a stripe, then dots, and then twisted into a swirl pattern. Students learned that unlike metal, the glass rods do not transfer heat so only the tip stayed hot. They saw how the hot glass could be stretched into a string and become flexible. (A brief lesson on fiberglass!) Following the demonstration students were taken to play several games of marbles. Due to the awesome behavior of the field trippers they were allowed to play an additional game. The trip ended with the students choosing marbles to fill a take home tube.

Field trip coordinator, Shelby, and I were the last 2 heading out the door  when the best thing happened. One of the Moon Marble people caught up to us because she wanted us to know that our group was the best behaved group of kids they have had.

AWESOME job,  REACH students!
