At 8 a.m. on Friday, March 30, 2018, the fourth grade students boarded buses on a trip to Chelungpu Fault Preservation Park. All the students were excited. The earthquake which happened on September 21, 1999 was the biggest in recent times. However, it occurred before these students were born, so it was a good opportunity for them to learn more about it.

First, all the students were given a talk in English explaining the significance of the fault. Then, the students were given 3D glasses, and watched a movie, showing the landscape around the fault which covered an area of 90 km. This gave the students a sense of really being immersed in the environment.

After this, the students were taken to the Fault Preservation Hall. Here, they got to learn the cause of the fault and to see the different layers of earth that make up the fault.

Finally, the students were given a card, which was like a puzzle. They could fold it in different ways to make six different pictures of the Chelungpu Fault Preservation Park. The students had a lot of fun with this and were still playing with it days after our visit.

3/30星期五早上，全四年級的學生坐了戶外教育專車，前往車籠埔地震教育園區進行戶外教學。所有的學生都非常興奮，能夠參與此項活動，真正深入了解近20年前，在當時發生震撼人心的921大地震。

這次的戶外教育，一共包含三項活動，從英語地質學導覽、3D夏威夷火山立體電影與車籠埔斷層遺址光雕影片。所有活動都讓20年前不在921地震現場的葳格孩子，身歷其境的真實感受。

在我們離開車籠埔保護園區前，館內人員還準備了園區紀念品送給大家，希望孩子們在回家後，仍能回味與思考在保護園區學習體驗到的種種滴滴，學會地震發生時的應對之策。
