First we first did a little school and then went to The Maritime Museum in Rockport. We learned about a European explorer that found the mouth of the Mississippi. He later sailed four ships in the 1700s back to the Mississippi Mouth area to establish a colony. We also learned about oil platforms, old fishing equipment, and oyster harvesting.

Next, we went to the Bay Education Center where there was a presentation about the atmosphere. It wasn't just any presentation, it was "Science on a Sphere" with 4 projectors. It talked about hurricanes and weather within the earth. Did you know that there are never hurricanes near the equator?  Bet not.
