USS
Yorktown and Aquarium
One of the many things that students at Lake Carolina
look forward to in fifth grade is our Charleston Field Study.
This field study ties into our Ecosystems and Mixtures/Solutions unit
and also ties into our World War II and Cold War Social Studies units. At
the USS Yorktown, students have the opportunity to tour the WWII aircraft
carrier, a Cold War Submarine, separate the salt from ocean water, and learn
how erosion and deposition affect our shores in South Carolina. After leaving
the USS Yorktown, the students will visit historic downtown Charleston for
lunch, then to the aquarium. At the aquarium, students will learn about
the predators and prey and will have the opportunity to touch and hold several
aquatic animals such as a horseshoe crab and rays. This is such a funfilled
and exciting trip for our young fifth grade leaders. Please let us know
if you would like to chaperone this field study and join in on the fun.
