The experience overall benefited my students greatly. They loved the interactive exhibit and trying on the equipment ComEd workers wear. The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 stars was the guide could have been more knowledgeable about the content.

The field trip was a great hands-on learning experience for the students about electricity and how it works. The presenter did a great job bringing the information to the students level and in a way, they could understand. The opportunity for them to try out the different exhibits helped them to not only learn but to work as a team to make the most energy or to work together to answer a question.
