Science trip to the Stardom. Most year 9 of Tamaki college went to the stardome. We took a bus ride, then were greeted by a staff member of the Stardome. We gathered into the dome itself, and took a seat. The staff member told us that we were going to watch a video. It began to play. Its showed us the contislations and some important stars, like the Matariki stars. He showed us how he skipped a week and where the starts were in the sky.
We left the dome room, and entered the foyer. Which had some gizmos about space and the galaxy. Like the weight machine. Its shows how much we would weigh on Earth, and show us how much we would way on the moon, or the other planets. This was my favourite.
Then we were introduced the then space room I think it was called. This is where he taught us what its like to be in space, or in a rocket. He showed us a video clip of what it was like is space. The video had a man and he was showing us how to brush his teeth. It was a tricky video because everything was floating. Though it was humorous how he could just leave the microphone, toothpaste and brush without having to worry about it. He also showed a part of how tricky it was to pick something up off the moon onced you dropped it. An astronaut tried to pick something up he dropped, but it was hard, so he fell and was rolling on the moons surface.
Our turn is the Observatory was over, but we weren't leaving just yet. We had a little play around on the park that was just outside the Stardome. We also went for a walk up One tree hill Mountain. We took a few pictures and had a laugh up the top. I found this a time to bond with the other students and class members. I noticed how our class became a lot closer after this trip.
It wasn't a bad trip after all. It all ended well, and we headed back to school to finish off the day.
