Science Field Trip for 7th Graders
March 23, 2022
7th grade students and staff are going to Imagination Station in Toledo, Ohio to learn about science on April 8th, 2022.
Ms. Mroz has planned this field trip for students to learn things that will add to their unit on parts of the body. The trip features an activity where students dissect a cow’s eye, along with plenty more activities for students to learn about science. Students can go by having their parents sign the form and pay the $5 dollar fee. In the past, students had to pay $10 or $12 dollars, but due to funding this year, the price dropped to a cheaper amount.
6th and 8th grade students haven’t gone on any field trips this year because no teachers have organized them. Ms. Mroz, the organizer in the 7th grade field trip, said, “Each teacher is in charge of doing their own field trip as far as I know of.” When choosing a field trip location, she landed on the Imagination Station. “What I love about Imagination Station is that it is more interactive than the Science Center in Detroit.” She also mentioned how she loves seeing students interacting and learning about science. Also, they will get to have a more hands-on experience that is different from what they might do in a classroom.
Besides the 7th graders dissecting a cow’s eye, the Imagination Station also has activities where students can create light-up badges, create and design their own creature with unique features, and identify bones to learn about an animal’s unique habitat. The Imagination Station also offers other activities for elementary students.
The Imagination Station is a popular destination for people to learn about science, as it welcomes more that 200,000 visitors each. According to the official Imagination Station website, about 40% of the people who come there Lucas county, Ohio residents and about 28% of people travel from across Michigan. The rest of the people come from other parts of the country to visit Imagination Station.

What I found interesting about this article was how we never get field trips and it’s unfair to us 8th graders and 6.

In my opinion, this was a good article I liked reading about what you can do on the trip. The place seems very interesting and enjoyable.

I think that this science field trip is a great thing because we all have not gone on a field trip in a long time since covid started no one has gotten on a field trip and especially one that is mainly about one thing but about a lot of things.

I enjoyed this article because I didn’t really know anything about “Imagination Station” and this helped me learn about it. I’m guessing that’s why you made this! What I found interesting in this article was that last time it was 10 or 12 dollars. What I also found interesting was that you have a choice to dissect a cow’s eye, I don’t know if you heard but you also get a chance to dissect a frog too. In my opinion, I wish that there was more dissecting. (I know it’s gross but it’s science!)

In my opinion, we should be able to go to the imagination station because the good kids didn’t do anything to not be able to go back there because of the kids that stole and got caught.
Hilary B. • Apr 11, 2022 at 12:34 pm
In my opinion, I think it was a great idea for Ms. Mroz to organize a field trip for the 7th-grade students. so that they would learn more science stuff.
Diego Barrera • Apr 11, 2022 at 12:30 pm
I know we are going on the field trip on April 20 In 7th grade. Ms. Mroz in science planned this field trip for this year.
Angel • Apr 11, 2022 at 12:28 pm
In my opinion, it is fair for us to be able to go to the imagination station because last time the bad kids messed it up for the school and we weren’t able to go there ever again until ms Mroz and ms Jenkins begged for us to be able to go back there again because they didn’t trust us
Alekzander E • Apr 11, 2022 at 12:28 pm
In my opinion, it is a good thing that 7th graders get to go on this cool and fun field trip. Where we are allowed to have fun and explore scientific things around the place. Ever since the pandemic happened 7th graders right now have not been able to go to any field trips since 6th and 5th because they got canceled. But the imagination station for us would teach us more than we are already in the classrooms.
Juan Diego Mendez Garcia • Apr 11, 2022 at 10:43 am
I enjoyed reading this article because the author was saying that The Imagination Station is a great place to go. he/she the prices have lower down than in the past.
Antonio • Apr 11, 2022 at 10:39 am
In my opinion, I think it is a good thing that 7th graders were able to go on a field trip. I do wish more grades could go on a field trip (such as 8th or 6th grade), so students don’t think it’s unfair.
Rosalia Perez • Apr 11, 2022 at 10:32 am
I believe that the 7th grader’s trip is amazing, but I also believe that it is in a way unfair that 8th and 6th graders have not been on trips as far as I know. In the text, it states that “6th and 8th grade students haven’t gone on any field trips this year because no teachers have organized them.” in addition, 6th and 8th grade teachers should organize field trip plans because 6th and 8th grade students deserve at least a field trip that being that the last field trip they have taken was in the elementary. -Rosalia Perez
kelvin Ardon • Apr 11, 2022 at 10:27 am
I think that the teacher that did the field trip is really nice and you can tell that she cares a lot about her student’s education.
Arturo Rizo-Perez • Mar 24, 2022 at 1:17 pm
In my opinion, I think it is a good thing that 7th graders were able to go on a field trip. Although I do wish more grades could go on a field trip (such as 8th or 6th grade), so students don’t think it’s unfair that they didn’t go on a field trip.
Jeyli • Mar 24, 2022 at 1:26 pm
I agree with you because I also wish it was more fair for us 8th and 6th graders to go on a school field trip.
Rubi Galindo • Mar 24, 2022 at 1:16 pm
In my opinion, I think it’s not fair that when we were in 7th grade we didn’t get to go on a field trip. Since we had virtual they could’ve changed it to this year but it’s still not fair.
Bereni Hernandez • Mar 24, 2022 at 1:33 pm
I agree with you because we haven’t gone on any field trips and I feel like we should be able to go to one because it’s ower last year of middle school.
Melissa • Apr 11, 2022 at 1:48 pm
I agree with you because we never get field trips
Anthony cruz • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:39 pm
In my opinion, I think it’s unfair for the other kids to not get a field trip and the 7th graders do
Leonardo F • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:37 pm
This would be fun for the 7th graders because due to the pandemic they haven’t been able to go to any field trip since like 5th or 6th grade.
Salem Diaz • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:28 pm
in my opinion, I think it’s nice that the 7th graders are allowed to go on the field trip to the Imagination Station and enjoy their time. Due to covid in the previous year we wouldn’t be able to go on field trip because of online school, but I’m glad this yea the 7th graders are able to go on a field trip.
apolonio hernandez • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:40 pm
I see your point but what about us the 8th graders try to remember the last time we were on a field trip you cant because it has been forever since we have last been on a field trip think this is are last year i middle school as we get older the school events and parties are going to start to fade away I say we get a field trip to have fun before the challenges of high school get to put on us.
Melanie A • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:22 pm
I think Imagination station is a great place for a field trip. They have so many fun and interactive activities and stuff to do. Imagine station makes learning science fun. You get to learn science in a fun way and don’t have to be stuck in a classroom.
Aniya Miles • Mar 24, 2022 at 1:34 pm
I agree with you because during this school year the 7th graders did not get to go on a field trip at all. So I personally think that they should at least get 1 before school is over.
Ivette Acosta-Jimenez • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:51 am
In my opinion, Since this will be the 7th-grades first field trip of the year after Covid-19 accord, the imagination station is an excellent choice, especially for those who have not experienced or have never gone before.
Skyler Hoffmann • Mar 24, 2022 at 12:26 pm
I agree with you because the 7th graders didn’t get to go on any field trips last year do to Covid-19 and i think that this would be a great thing for them to do
Aleysh Bravo • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:50 am
In my opinion, I think it is really cool that 7th graders are able to go to the Imagination Station. The Imagination Station has really fun activities that you can learn from. I really like that they made it cheaper for more students to come. And for the students that had never come before can have a fun time. I feel like 7th graders are lucky because they never had a trip because of covid-19
Ivette A • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:49 am
In my opinion, Since this will be the 7th-grades first field trip of the year after Covid-19 accord, the imagination station is an excellent choice, especially for those who have not Experienced or have never gone before.
Karla • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:53 am
I agree with you because a lot of people are new to this school and maybe they’ve never been to the imagination station so it’s a good idea that Ms.Mroz came up with it.
Jocelyn o • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:48 am
In my opinion, the field trip is a really fun place to go. There are a lot of new things that you will learn there.
Anthony C • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:47 am
I agree, but I also think that imagination st should be for all grades pre k through college
alex • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:42 am
I really can’t wait for this field trip because we haven’t gone since the fourth grade.
camila.Bravo • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:50 am
YES I CANT WAIT TO!!
david gomez • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:38 am
I like that we get to go on a Field Trip cause we did not go camping in 5th grade but one thing that I do want to know is why did it got held back to April 20.
Ms. Mroz • Apr 12, 2022 at 10:41 am
The reason it got pushed back is because the School Board has to approve it and they didn’t get a chance to before the April 8th date. Therefore, the field trip had to be pushed back.
Jocelyn • Mar 24, 2022 at 8:45 am
In my opinion, I think it’s cool that the 7th graders are getting the chance to experience & go on a field trip but, I feel like all the grades should go since we haven’t been able to go on many trips cause of covid.
Jaquelin • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:52 am
I agree with Jocelyn since I feel like the 6th and 8th graders haven’t gone on field trips in a while and they deserve to also have field trips.
Jaquelin • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:54 am
I agree with Jocelyn since the 6th and 8th graders haven’t been on field trips in a while so I think they deserve to go.
Zachary • Mar 24, 2022 at 8:35 am
In my opinion, I think it’s a great idea for 7th graders to have a chance to experience a fun time with others. But at the same time, it’s kind of a bummer that we 8th graders need to wait 10 months for a field trip.
adviser • Mar 24, 2022 at 8:36 am
Why 10 months?
Zachary • Mar 24, 2022 at 8:41 am
Supposedly we 8th graders have a field trip to Cedar Point, which I’m gonna guess is around June. So starting from September all the way to June, that’s 10 months.
Gonzalo Villarruel • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:25 am
In my opinion, I think going to imagination land and dissecting a cow’s eye and other stuff is a good idea for a field trip
Michael Hill • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:41 am

Karla • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:39 am
I agree but I also think that it is a fun way of learning science without having to sit in class for an hour.
Eddie • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:21 am
In my opinion, the Imagination Station would be fun to go but when I tried to go camping at school back in January 20, 2020, they had to cancel it and the school didn’t give back the money that the students gave to the school.
Rey • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:23 am
Maybe that was for you because they gave my mom her refund.
david gomez • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:54 am
i dissagree with you because i never got my refund
Lazaro Diaz Juarez • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:26 am
I agree with you because I also wanted to go camping but then they canceled it and now I’m happy that we finally have a field trip that is not going to get canceled.
Lazaro Diaz Juarez • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:16 am
In my opinion, I think the science field trip for 7th graders is a fun thing for 7th graders because there is a lot of activities to do like dissecting a cow’s eye.
ElianaV • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:26 am
I agree with you Lazaro because I think it’ll be enjoyable for all 7th graders like creating and designing their own creatures with unique features!
camila z • Mar 24, 2022 at 8:34 am
I agree but I also think that the school should make it for 6th and 8th graders too.
david gomez • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:45 am
I agree they should do it for 6 grade and 7th cause we have not gone on a field trip in so long
Anthony C • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:55 am
I agree with David because I went to school with him and I have not gone on a field trip for so long.
Leonardo v • Mar 24, 2022 at 7:41 am
I agree with you Lazaro because it will be fun since we haven’t gone to a field trip since elementary school.
Karyme torres • Mar 24, 2022 at 9:49 am
I agree with you because you can do so many things in the imagination station.
