On January 11, 2016, the middle school class took a visit to the Palm Beach Science Museum.  When we first arrived at the museum we walked though all the exhibits, There was a dinosaur exhibit,  a fish exhibit, and the states of matter exhibit.  

In one of the exhibits there was a horseshoe and ring puzzle.  You were supposed to get the ring of of a chain that was connected to two horseshoes. We tried to solve the puzzle for thirty minutes with no success until one of the employees helped us solve it.

  After we walked around the exhibits, we than got a private lesson about circuits and robotics.  We spent a little while playing with circuits that would shoot fans into the air or turn on light bulbs.

 Once we finished our lesson, we went into their planetarium for a film about how humans are killing the environment, the show was educational but also quite scary.  Once we finished our lesson, we went into their planetarium for a film  about how humans are killing the environment, the show was educational but also quite scary.
