From Flying, to looking at genetic anomalies, this J-term has it all

Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Trimble’s J-term Earth and Space, Inspiring Innovation is full of fun and adventure. Form learning how to fly in iFly’s indoor skydiving, or to taking a look at fascinating specimens and freaks of nature in the Mütter museum. This J-term has always been fun and exciting, as I was apart of it a few years ago as freshman. I went along on the trip to Philadelphia with the J-term group as we were first taken on a tour through the city. The tour guide showed us some buildings and architecture that

had significant importance in the structure of the city; some buildings included 30th street station, Loews Hotel and the Lenfest Plaza. The tour guide then dropped us off at reading terminal market. Reading Terminal market has a wide variety of foods from cookies, to freshly cooked lobster, it has everything and it is good to.

We then took the bus to the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and visited the Mütter Museum. We were greeted by another tour guide that talked to us about the brief history of the Museum, and how it was established. She then took us on the tour of the museum, and it was quite fascinating to see the amount of specimens the Mütter museum has to offer. From the second largest skeleton in the world, to the largest colon ever in a human, the museum has a wide range of genetic anomalies to show to the people. The Mütter museum truly is one of the most spectacular and out of the ordinary museums in the country. I would like to thank Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Trimble, along with their J-term, for allowing me to go with them on this trip with them and allowing me to write this article on my experience.
