Trip to the Space Center

Fiedtrip Assignment
It was on a fine Saturday when we went to HR Macmillan Space Center in Kitsilano. The sun was out shedding warmth and the clouds were also present cooling off the grounds. It was the perfect weather to spend quality time with my family. My sisters and I were jumpy and we simply could not wait any longer to see the space center. Even my 45 year old mother seemed thrilled that we were going on a space adventure since she is a big fan of science; indeed, we were all excited.
We arrived at HR Macmillan Space Center around 11 in the morning - just in time for the first show, “Rocket Lab.” Basically, I was thinking that the live show was going to be about rockets, how they are built and how they work. Upon entering the theatre, I did not see anything close to a rocket and there were only these small screens which were for the audience’s viewing, obviously. I, however, did not let the setting ruin my mood. It turns out that the show was not as bad as I imagined it would be; actually, I found it informative, and a bit fun. The person, who I assumed was not a scientist but merely a well-informed staff, wore a lab gown and well, talked about rockets. He started off with the basics, the Laws of Motion, which I liked for it helped his watchers to catch up with the technical terminologies he was about to shower us with. From there, he continued to supply us with enough rocket knowledge, occasionally performing experiments and letting out his unusual “AHHHs.”
There was only half an hour left before the most awaited planetarium display started so we decided to go around the Macmillan Space Center’s exhibit. Since my younger sisters felt the total opposite of my feelings toward the “Rocket Lab,” they were getting uneasy, but as they saw striking pictures of the galaxy, games about space exploration, and machines that looked fun and educational, their frowns turned into huge grins. My two fiddle-footed sisters, together
