USS Hornet Stem to Stern
USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Pier 3, Alameda Point Friday, September 12, 2025 10 am - 1:30 pm Fee: $10 per student, $11 per adult Students will see how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics apply to the operational functions of a World War II aircraft carrier. The historic surroundings of USS Hornet offer a one-of-a-kind learning environment for exploring these concepts by giving students perspective on modern technology by offering a comparison to the past. For example, students can investigate how thermodynamics and electromagnetism allowed the USS Hornet to use seawater to power the ship while cruising the ocean. They can learn how waves are used to track objects and communicate on board as well as between ships and aircraft. They can also see how hydraulics and simple machines, wind, and the ship itself helped launch a 19,000-lb jet off the flight deck, as well as how pilots and sailors use vector mathematics to plot a course. After the tour of the USS Hornet, the group will split by grades and do some STEM lab activities that are appropriate for their grades. There is a 30-min break in the middle for lunch. After the field trip, families are welcome to stay and explore the museum until it closes at 5 pm. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/9HoTDGSbiiPvgRNM8 |
