| Science Field Experience |
|
A field experience differs significantly from a just-for-fun “field trip.”
|
- A field experience is a relevant, multidisciplinary day of adventure and learning in a local outdoor setting.
|
- It is preceded by in-class curriculum (with assessments) that integrates the grade-level’s science and social studies concepts with the natural resources of the Wenatchee Valley.
|
- Specific community organizations and government agencies partner with the school district to help develop and implement field experiences.
|
- All grade level classes from seven schools participate over a three-day period. In groups of 12-15 under adult leadership, students rotate between learning stations, staffed by school district and community volunteers.
