A Field Trip to Lawrence Hall of Science

My son's class is studying about dinosaurs and fossils. Last Tuesday we went on a field trip to the Lawrewnce Hall of Science in Berkeley. It was about 9:00 am when we left my son's school. It was raining very hard. We had to hurry up to get onto the bus which was parked in front of the school.

When we got to the Lawrence Hall of Science, it was still raining. The children were very excited about what they saw, especially when they saw different kinds of dinosaur models moving and making sounds like real dinosaurs.

There were also dinosaur eggs. Some baby dinosaurs were hatching from the eggs. Some children liked a kind of dinosaur called "veloceraptor." They said that this dinosaur was mean.

There was something that was interesting to me. It was about the stages of human death. It said that there are five stages of human death. They are:

1. Fresh
2. Bloated
3. Decayed
4. Post Decay
5. Skeletal

At 11:00 am, all the classes from my son's school met in the auditrium. A person talked about fossils and dinosaurs. Soon after, we ate lunch in the cafeteria. After that, it finally stopped raining, so we went outside to admire the beautiful view of the bay area.

We really enjoyed this field trip!
