Trip To Space

On Tuesday October 29, Mr. Kindrick, Mr. Jesnsen and Mrs. Caras at Springville Junior High took 175 ninth grade students on a field trip to the Salt Lake Clark Planetarium, to gain a better understanding of the galaxy. It was an awesome field trip, and everyone enjoyed it. According to Mr. Kindrick, a science teacher at SJHS, he would definitely do it again.

At the planetarium, students learned about black holes, and how a mission to space goes. They learned how important our planet is, and why it has kept us alive. Everyone got into the dome theater about an hour after they arrived, and everyone loved it. Students laid back and looked up to this big dome theater and watched a video on black holes. According to Giovanni Muniz, a ninth grader at SJHS, that was his favorite one. After the video on black holes, students all got free popcorn and a soft drink and went over to the Imax theater where they received 3-D glasses for the next movie. According to Jacky Rogers, a ninth grader at SJHS, it was awesome. “The Imax one was my favorite one,” said Shawn Johnston, a ninth grader at SJHS.

After the movie was over, the students had free time.  And went to they were right next to The Gateway mall. Most of the students went to the food court, about one third of the students that went to the food court went to Panda Express.        

Mr. Kindrick liked the field trip so much that he said he will do it again, so buckle up eighth graders, you are in for a blast off.
