The Grade 6 Students toured the Air & Space Museum, located at Downsview Park with volunteer tour guides Ron and John. By refering to the Q-Chart, students generated a series open-ended questions of which they asked the tour guides. Students will be engaged in the use of new technology and software, to post their new learning through this part of the blog. Please visit and listen to their inquiring questions and look through their photo diary of their visit to a historical part of Toronto. Click the link below to participate. Enjoy :o)

The air & space museum was really cool, and all of the planes were amazing. I think that the Avro Arrow was incredible because it had the technology of an F-22 plane 50 years before the F-22s were built. I also think it was great because it almost coincided with the anniversary of the first flight in Canada. Overall, I think the air & space museum was a great trip, and I would definitely go there again.

The air & space was the best trip for the class we saw jets and old planes that is more then 50 to 60.A few days later I saw the air & space museum on T.V it was the 100 anniversary. I would like to go there again for a another.

The air & space museum was amazing!!!!!!!!! When they showed us the planes and gave us the history on them, it was so fascinating. Especially when they showed us the huge plane. That looked more like a rocket then a plane. It was also interesting when we went to the animal shelter. I would totally go back.

The Aerospace Museum was so fun! I saw some really cool planes, including a plane that was used for movies! It was really interesting taking pictures there-there were so many different angles of the planes which made the photos all turn out really well. I also had a lot of fun in the gym there. We learned and had a great time! I would definitely go again! Sophie
ReplyDeleteWe were very fortunate on the day we visited Downsview Park as we took part in a tour of the Air and Space Museum, invited to visit the Wildlife Centre and end our day with some DPA activities in the Hangar. We live in a city where many historical and supportive centres are very accessible to us all. I would like to read more about your thoughts of what you saw and learned during your visit to the Air and Space Museum, along with extensions of your own learning since our visit.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the air and space museum because it was so interesting. There were so many great planes to see up close but my favourits plane was the B-17. The B-17 was an aircraft that survived through many wars. The overall museum was really great and I hope to visit it again soon. Ravi
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to the Air and Space Museum we had a lot of fun! We used digital cameras to take pictures that turned out really well. We even did some interviews with the tour guide. Later we visited the Hangar and played some basketball. I would definitely like to do something like this again. There was something for everyone! Fallona
ReplyDeleteI thought that the Aerospace Museum was an awesome experience! We were able to learn about so many different planes, and also more aviation history. I liked seeing the large outdated engine that had been taken out of one of the planes. On top of all this,we even got to see the animal rehabilitation and sports center! I would definitely go back on my own time! Holly :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the trip to Aerospace Museum was really cool because we got to hear awesome stories about many planes we saw there; each plane had its own awesome story. I would really love to go there again on my own time:)

The Air and Space Museum was so cool. I liked it when we recorded ourselves asking the tour guide questions with the ipods. Our questions were in reference to the QCharts so that the tour guide can answer them really well. I would like to use more technology in the classroom like this. JESSICA
ReplyDeleteWOW. That sounds like fun I wish I was there with you guys at the air space museum
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering if you got a chance to sit in a model of future planes coming out
And if there are when are they coming out if you know that. I also was wondering if you got to sit inside a jet. I hope you had a great time there. Salim
This trip was so cool! I loved looking at so many different kinds of planes and other flying devices. I hope I could go there again.

Thank you Salim! We hade a great time at the Air and Space Museum. I think that the Air and Space Museum was fascinating. The sample planes were awesome. I wish that I can go there some time latter. Going to the AASM really made me want to make my own plane and fly it. Stephanie
ReplyDeleteThe Air and Space Museum was a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There where so much cool air related stuff. My favourite plane was the Avro Arrow because it could travel two times the speed of sound (to bad they canceled it).
ReplyDeleteThe air and space museum sounds like everyone had a great time! Unfortunately, I couldn’t go because I was sick: (. I would have loved to go and look at all those planes and learn more about the history of aviation. I hope to go to the air and space museum and learn more about aviation! Alejandra
ReplyDeleteTHE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM WAS AWESOME! It was soooo fun!!! We got to learn about different types of planes. One of my favourite parts was playing soccer in the Hangar. It was a wonderful experience and i hope that i can go to the museum someday and volunteer. Eric
ReplyDeleteI liked the air and space museum because there were many diffrent kinds of air crafts including passenger planes, jets,helicopters, and models. I think my favorite thing in the air and space museum was the model of the first satalite to be launched in canada. I learned about lift, thrust, drag and wieght. The plane that was the most interessting to me was the Ultra Light plane because it was very uniqe. Nathaniel
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing all those planes and warplanes.I am really glad we got the oppertunity to see all the planes and hopefully one day I will visit it again. stephen
ReplyDeleteTaking field trips that allow students to get up close to items is a great way to put things into perspective. The size of the planes, materials used to build, advancements made over time with technology and so on. I too found standing next to the Avro Arrow very "cool". It is truly a remarkable aircraft that makes a very political time in Canadian history. Several students have shared a plane or planes which particularly interested them. What could you share about the aircraft that captured your attention and what role did it play in Canadian Flight?
ReplyDeletethe air and space museum was really fun because i got to learn about so many cool and we went to the sports center and the animal center is was a really cool.I really like the Avro arrow because it was going to be one the greatest planes of all time. I have a questions to ask why do you think they didn't let no more Avro arrow be made?
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed the field trip to the air and space museum because got to see allot of cool planes and learn about them and we also got to go to the sports center and we got to go to the animal center. A plane that captured my eye was the afro arrow because The Avro arrow was one of Canada’s greatest achievements in aviation history because it was one of the fastest planes in the world at the time. josh
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved the air&space museum!!! I learned a lot of new things about aircrafts and I also had a lot of fun! I plan to revisit the museum soon! salena
