6th graders at Westside Elementary had the privilege of going on a field trip to the Clark Planetarium. They were able to see a movie in the Hansen Dome Theater called Extreme Planets and also a 3D IMAX movie called Hubble 3D. These were amazing films which taught the students much about the known Universe. They were also able to interact with hands-on exhibits. It was a great time had by all!
