This journey trip was a steep hike up a mountain within Mission trails of San Diego. It allowed us to practice collecting, refining, and graphing data. It also helped us learn how to use more difficult equipment such as pedometers for our experiments and taught us how to handle any errors that may occur.

This journey trip was an overnight camping trip to the middle of the Anza Borrego desert, away from most of modern civilization. It let us learn about heat transfer and how it works in real life, as well as to get a point of reference for undertanding celcius.

This journey was a to a three story high ropes course located in Orange County. This trips purpose was to help us better understand forces and how they act upon us. Also what it feels like to be without some of them. It also allowed us to gain a better understanding of challenge and risk while in a safe environment.

This journey took us to Mission Point to participate in a variety of activities. Those being paddle boarding, sandcastle building, photography of those paddleboarding, and paddleboarding. The intention for this field trip was for us to get a better understanding of buoyancy, as well as practice paddling for our upcoming cardboard boat competition (view physics classroom for more).

This journey took us to one of San Diego's most known attractions, Sea World! The goal of this trip was to use the rides to better understand forces, as well as learn about the many different sea animals found there. We were split into groups of 6 to 12 students with one adult per group to go on their own rides.
