May 2nd - 9-2 and 9-4 Manitoba Electrical Museum Field trip

Thanks to all the volunteer (Hydro-Ex) guides at the museum at Harrow and Pembina for helping 9-2 and 9-4 learn about electricity and its development here in Manitoba.

Students came away with a variety of new ideas and wonder about how much more amazing it is to have electricity just an electrical outlet in the wall away!

Next Thursday, May 10th, students will visit IMAX to see 2 films to prepare us for our last unit in grade 9 science after Electricity......Space and the Cosmos:
