2019-2020 On-Site STEM Field Trips

Description:

On-Site STEM Field Trips are available for students in grades 3-5. They are designed for students to experience hands-on explorations related to grade-level content (see below). Each activity is prepared for a group of 20-30 students and will last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. During the on-site field trip, teachers/staff are required to remain with their students. The on-site facilitator must be located in one room for the on-site field trip, allowing classes to rotate approximately every hour.

(NOTE: All materials are provided.)
