This past Tuesday, every IB student along with Mr. Brewer, Ms. Hook, and Mrs. Sewell to the Fernbank in Atlanta. The purpose of this field trip was to educate us on elements of nature and how there is a meaning and importance for everything in nature and even culture. We left at 9:00 am Tuesday morning. The bus ride was really fun and gave us an opportunity to bond with the partial IB students who rode alongside us. The seniors were very accepting of us Juniors and talked all about the senior aspects of IB.
When we arrived, the first thing we did was go out onto a nature trail. It was a little bit like hiking. I enjoyed it very much especially when I got to talk with my peers about what we saw and our own interpretations of what each thing meant to us. We got the opportunity to play on the playground that they offered and to burn some energy. Afterward, we headed into the color exhibit which was all about waves, different Pantone shades, and how color affects the moods of everyone. Later, we examined gravity in-depth and used hands-on techniques to learn more about it. The last thing we looked through was the indoor habitat experience. It was mostly for children, but we enjoyed it very much.
As we finished looking through the gift shop, we decided what food we were going to get at the market we were going to for lunch. There were many options such as Mexican food, Peruvian, African, and other cuisines from different places. My friend and I chose food from African cuisine which was very yummy! Despite it being incredibly spicy, we thought it was good enough to get it again during a future visit. This trip was a great experience. It gave me the opportunity to learn more about nature, food, and my peers!
