How Do You Use “Field Trips”?

Clown fishSeveral of our schools are going on field trips (”being there” experiences), especially to the aquarium. It’s a great break for kids and teachers. But its not supposed to be just a reward; some educational outcome is expected (which is why we don’t go to the State Fair anymore).

The question is, “What and how do we teach through it?”

I’m looking for your suggestions here, particularly about aquarium visits. How do you use this event to teach?

A $10 gift certificate will go to the best idea. I’ll ask some of the principals to judge, so that there will be a resemblance of partiality.
