I felt the trip was well exciting and very factfull
The muesuem was amazing and the movie we saw was sad, funny, and it was ok
i wish they would have ttok the time to walk us through the gangus khan exhibit
Well, the museum was lots of fun and the movie/film was very educational with information on elephants and their habitats and what they eat,do how they act in their habitats,and it showed us how they mate and fight for the female elephants.Ganghis Khan died in 1227 aged 65 thats was an important piece of history and how he fought in this world before he died.IT was a very informational and factful trip....the FERNBANK field trip was great,THANKS!
The Fieldtrip Helped Me Learn More About Elephants Way Of Living & Their Struggles. I Would Reccomend This To Smaller Children Who Wants To Learn More About Animals.
THE TRIP WAS FUN I LEARNED THINGS I NEVRE LEARNED BEFOR
I enjoyed the IMAX movie "Africa's Elephant Kingdom!" The matriach was very protective of her family much like humans. It was funny watching the newborn baby try to walk & be introduced to the family.
I plan to go back to take my time going through the Genghis Khan exhibit. The exhibit was so extensive with plenty of artifacts. I'm certain I missed something!!!!
