As a class, we are going to put our inventor caps on and take a trip to the Hamrick Mills Hamrick Plant in Gaffney, SC. My mom works at the corporate office which operates this plant. While we are on our tour, we will brainstorm areas we could improve using our noggins. Keep in mind EVERYTHING Kid President said in the video we watched first.

Click the link below. You will create a FlipGrid video discussing how the field trip helped you learn. Your video should be at least one minute long.

Answer these questions in your video. Have fun! Be creative!
Did visiting the textile mill help you understand the cotton process or do you think you could have learned as much inside the classroom? Would you like to learn outside of the classroom more often or less often in the future? Why do you think we went to the plant instead of staying at school?
