The Discovery Center

Last week, our teaching science class had the opportunity to meet at the Discovery Center here in Murfreesboro. While we were there, we got certified in Project Wet and Project Wild by Mrs. Bonnie Ervin.

Although it was a bit chilly and rainy, we all had a great time. We got to take water samples  from pond water and spring water. My task was to test the temperature. I found that the pond water was about 75/F while the spring water was 60/F. It was funny how close they were together but yet so different in temperature and pH.

One of the neat things about our evening was the game we played. We were given a map of different bodies of water and were assigned to begin at different places where we would read different scenarios and roll a dice telling us which body of water we would go to (or stay) next.

I learned a lot of valuable information for my future classroom and I really enjoyed having class at the Discovery Center.
