Memories of Coney Island

When I went to Coney Island I went to the beach and to the New York Aquarium. When we got to the beach we first did water quality testing and then we found many kinds of garbage like bottles, bags and cans of soda. On the beach I found many kinds of shells, such as shells from blue mussels, horseshoe crabs ,, and moonsnails. Then, we went to the Aquarium and I saw many animals like a Beluga whale, seahorses and other animals. We met with people that knew a lot about animals. My experience was very beautiful because I saw beautiful animals with different colors and sizes. I learned many things on this trip that I did not know before. For example, male seahorses grow their babies in their pouch. If I had to choose a trip I liked most I would choose this trip. The other trips that I have taken I liked, but not as much as I liked the Aquarium. I can compare the Atlantic Ocean with the other bodies of water we have visited because we always do water quality testing. -J.P.

As our class walked from the subway to the New York Aquarium, we walked down the boardwalk of Coney Island. All the rides and games were closed for the winter, but I recognized the Cyclone ride.
On that day we went on the beach to do water quality testing. That day was cloudy and sunny, but it was too could outside. We met people that worked in the New York Aquarium and they were very nice. We did many different things and looked at the animals. My experience was very good because I learned about something that I like. This trip was compared to the other trips becuase we always do water quality testing. I learned about the electric eel. That eel is dangerous becuase it can give more than a 500 volt shock. And now I know how big whales can get. -A.N.
