The Berman’s World History Museum provides an opportunity for ninth grade world history students to “Take a trip around the world!” an hour drive from Central Coosa.
Students strolled the two floors of displays and five exhibits as they completed a scavenger hunt book looking for items they learned about in class throughout the year. Once the students find the items they have to sketch them and then fill in the blanks to complete the captions in their scavenger hunt memory book.
Student favorites usually include Leonardo da Vinci’s leaf gun from Renaissance Italy, the Persian scimitar and the largest piece of the U.S.S. Arizona outside of Hawaii.
Pictured are Henley Stevens, Kamari Edwards and KeShaun Willingham who have found Leonardo’s leaf gun.
Also pictured are Zack Isbell and Franchesca Ocana, along with chaperone Mr. Mitchell, who found Napoleon’s personal items from the island of St. Helena where he was exiled after his final defeat at Waterloo.
You know it is a good field trip when you overhear students say things like, “This is so cool; I’m going to come back here this summer.”
