First graders at Merriwether Elementary enjoyed a field trip to the Ruth Patrick Science Center at USC-Aiken in November. Students participated in a workshop that let them manipulate toys to show forces. The students also went to the planetarium to see a show on examples of things in their environment. It was an exciting day of learning!
