Bintaro Lama Field Trip

Bintaro Lama was our class's excitement during the week. We were all jumping up and down with joyness and excitement. When the clock, ticked to 9, all of us were dashing to the buses. Kayleigh and I was in Mr. Mckibben's bus. During the way to the place. Ben, Mr.Mckibben and us, 4 girls talked and laughed. Mr.Mckibben was so good at telling scary stories, we were knocked down with horror. One of the stories was the freaky moving mouth elmo doll. If you don't want nightmares, do not listen to Mr. Mckibben telling creepy stories. When we arrived, we were so scared that Alona, Elise, Kayleigh and I were shouting "ELMO BITES!!!". If you were there, you will know what happened next.

Our group started off with station 1, which I think is the most important process in there, kampung village. This station was to get the water from the aquifer below and infiltrate with rocks and sand. This process provides water to do other process, which makes the water potable. Water, which finished infiltrate will used to wash dishes and shower.

Next, we went to station 3. Station 3 will maybe important for recycling. This process use plastic bottles to fill the water from the last process and then let it look at the sun for 6 hours. If the weather is not sunny, it takes a longer time to make it potable.

After that we went to the final station, which is station6. There we learned how to measure with PH and graduated cylinder. With the graduated cylinder, we checked if we could see the x or a + in the bottom of the cylinder after the water had been poured. If you could, that means you could drink it, but to make it accurate, it will be better if we use the machine which measures PH. If it isn't clear, that means it could be used as washing dishes and etc.

After finishing 3 station, All the groups were together and sang-along the wash-your-hand song. Unfortunately, there was a lot of flies, but how the villagers treated us, was just so nice. I guess Field trips are always fun if we're together.
