"On Wednesday the 12th of September Years 7 and 8 went to the Bristol science museum. When we arrived we were shown to the picnic area. Then we got to explore the 1st floor and I went on the two slow motion cameras. One of them filmed you jumping up and the 2nd one scared you. There was also a water one when you have to try and get the water from the sea to the receiver and the final thing I did on the first floor was when you attach a rocket to a rope and then it dropped. After the first floor we went to see a show called the boggling brain show showing us how the brain works. The show was for half an hour. After the boggling brain show we went to have lunch at the picnic area. Then we saw a show called the planetarium showing us a lot of the stars a planet and other galaxies in space. Then we went to the top floor where I spent most of my time in a film studio and a house that was on its side. The Bristol science museum is my favourite museum school trip."

"As you walk through the door you can see everything going on at once. We had a bracelet given to us at the beginning, these bracelets or wristbands had a barcode on and on certain activities you could scan your barcode and whatever you did was saved and later you could go on the website and look at what you had done. After a quick talk we were free to go off and explore the museum but we had to be back for a certain time for the ‘Boggling Brain Show’ which explained what different parts of your brain were used for. It was really fun to find out what part of my brain told me when I needed to breathe or even go to the toilet.
After the ‘Boggling Brain Show’ we had about an hour to explore my favourite part of the museum which was the animation area, where you could put Lego or magnets on the service and capture the photo and eventually it was a full cartoon which you could watch all the way through and edit it at home.
I really enjoyed @ Bristol and really want to go again. It never gets old as I have been twice before and I still got so excited when we went. "

"When we arrived instantly you could see lots of water features like the one outside, a large wall with water running down the side of it. Once we had entered you could spot many things that you could interact with, one of them was a hamster wheel that you could climb in, when running the large water feature beside you would have buckets lifting water to a different area of the feature (All because we were running on the spot) When you would walk around the feature you almost definitely get wet however this was helped with the help of a teacher Mark the head teacher, to get the passer-by’s wet he would use a mini water mill. Mark found this hilarious that he was getting year 8 and 7 wet. HA!
The water feature wasn’t the only thing we did, we went into a planetarium where we would watch a show, and we would go into a studio where there were buttons where nobody had a clue what they did when they were used right. Even though we got wet and pushed buttons in a studio that did nothing, still we all had a great time!"

"On Wednesday we went to Bristol to see an amazing science museum, not the sort with lots of writing, nothing exiting and don’t touch notices everywhere you look. Not the sort with ladies speaking in a low dull voice about the most boring stuff on earth but the sort with machines that make beach balls fly, giant hamster wheels and shows on how to make brains for Barbie dolls and lots, lots more. First we were told that if we stayed in our pairs we could look round the whole of the downstairs on our own for a while; one of the best experiences was living the life of a hamster! Well not quite. Basically there was a giant hamster wheel causing a water fountain to go round. But the planetarium was something I will never forget it was a huge dome where we were told about the planets and the stars and loads, loads more..."
