Fifth-graders visit Empire State Aeroscience Museum

Marie Curie's fifth-graders visited the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Scotia recently to participate in a program titled "Model Airplanes."

This was another magnet themed field trip in which students toured the museum to see different types of aircraft and the differences in their design and construction. This was a "hands-on" activity in which students got the chance to build their own paper air planes step-by-step.

With the help of the instructor and other adults, the students built their own airplanes and decorated them with decals of their liking, which meant each was unique in its appearance. Students got to take the airplanes home.

This was an educational and exciting activity that held the students undivided attention and curiosity.
