Earth & Space Systems - Pedagogical Connections: Field Trips


Field trips can create some of the most powerful learning opportunities that a child will experience, especially in science. Yet, few teachers ever receive any specific instruction on the do's and don'ts of field trip design. Earth & Space Systems uses 2 day-long field trips to address this pedagogical aspect along with the geologic content of the trip itself (40% of the field trip paper specifically relates to pedagogical issues).
