We had a long but great trip to Chapel Hill today to visit the campus of the other North Carolina University (4-H is part of N.C. State University so in the spirit of our organizational entity we're playing coy). We had the opportunity to visit Moorehead Planetarium and Science Center. There we saw the program "Solar System Odyssey." We learned about space exploration and the importance of preserving our planet because there really aren't any other options for colonization of other planets, or moons.
After our excellent space adventure we attended a program on earthquakes. We learned about plates shifting and different shifts create different land formations. We even got a chance to create different waves (P and S waves) and create our own seismic activity. Did you know there is an earthquake every minute of the day. Most of them are not big enough for us to feel but they are earthquakes none the less.
When we were done learning about the movement on the planet we are on we had a picnic lunch from Chick fillet. By that time we had to load up and head home. It was a long but educational day 3 for 4-H Biotech Day Camp. We did a briefing for the fun that waits tomorrow and it sounds like another day of 3-D fun.
