Thank you so much to the chaperones who joined us at Cranbrook today. The students learned a great deal from the presentations. They were both enriching (sound) and served as a great 'taster' of what we will be studying later on in the year (Electricity and Magnetism). The students also got to enjoy the travelling Dino exhibit. It was a great trip!
