Science School Trips to New York: 3 Top Museums

Museums are an excellent way for science students to learn more about their subject: with interactive displays that approach familiar topics from new and engaging angles, exhibitions of objects that students do not have access to in their classrooms, as well as the invigorating change of scene from being briefly away from the familiar school environment. School trips to New York give science students the opportunity to visit some of the world's finest museums of science: the New York Hall of Science, the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) and the American Museum of Natural History.
Hall of Science
The New York Hall of Science was founded in the 1964-65 World's Fair and has developed over the decades into the centre of interactive science in the city, primarily aimed at school groups, families and other younger people. It is an essential stop on the itinerary of school trips to New York. More than 450 interactive exhibits help visitors expand their understanding of science in our world. Subject matters include the search for life in extreme environments throughout our Solar System; early 1960s space craft, from a key period in the space race; a "Seeing the Light" exhibit that explores human perceptions of light, colour and reality; the question of animal cognition; many facets of mathematics and much more. Students of all ages will be engaged and keen to learn more.
National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath)
Founded in 2012, the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) is unique in North America for its solely mathematical focus. Like the Hall of Science, it has interactive exhibits with an educational intent, which are ideal for young groups. Students can see themselves in a dynamic fractal tree of human forms, tessellate magnetic tiles, create unusual 3D sculptures, learn about the many places in our day-to-day lives where maths is used, and so much more. Well-timed science school trips to New York can also take in guest talks on mathematical subjects.
American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History is a vast museum with a wide range of permanent and temporary exhibits that span scientific curriculum subjects. The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs features complete fossils of species from a major group of dinosaurs, including Stegosaurus, Triceratops and a mummified duck-billed Anatotitan. The Hall of North American Forests explores the many types of forests across the continent. Most remarkable of its exhibits is the slice of 1,400-year-old sequoia tree, which is instructional in understanding the effects of environmental stresses on tree growth. The Rose Center for Earth and Space takes students from the natural world of Earth to outer space, from the Big Bang to modern human understanding of the universe. The sheer variety of subjects makes the American Museum of Natural History an essential destination for any science based school trips to New York.

Why Not Abolish The Department Of Education?

Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution lists the Powers of the Congress. There is no mention of education on the list. Because education is not on the list it seems the 10th amendment applies: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." The law of our Creator assigns the responsibility of educating our children to their parents and families. Deuteronomy 6:5-9 " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

As a parent, it is part of our jobs to make sure that our child is well adjusted in their school environment.

It's usually a very big and important chunk of their science grade, and that can be frightening for a child. Many times children are daunted by the challenge of having to create a project. Chances are that the first science related project your child will create will not be a success. This can be very discouraging for a young child, and many times if we don't help out or pay attention they may develop a defeatist attitude towards challenges. It is up to us as parents to help come up with encouraging science projects for kids. When helping your child do their projects, the first step is to steer them in the ri...
