Field Trip Notes
by class blogger, Ashley C.
This is our first week back from Thanksgiving break. On Monday, we went on a field trip to Weldon Springs. We climbed to the top or a disposal cell and it was cold. We also went on a scavenger hunt around the museum.
From Mrs. R. -
Students got to see first hand the environmental impact on the area around Weldon Spring from its use as the world's largest TNT factory in WWII and a uranium processing plant during the 1950's. Students were fascinated by the ignorance we had about caring for God's creation and the extensive the clean up that took place. We also had a chance to use Geiger counters and see everyday items that emit radiation. Fiestaware anyone?
The interpretive center is a free museum run by the U.S. Department of Energy. Special thanks to our wonderful guide, Mr. McGee! Stop by for an hour sometime and check it out!
