Ten-Minute Field Trips, Third Edition (Order No. Pb-20)

For all school environments - urban, suburban, or rural - renowned educator Helen Russell Ross describes more than 200 short, close-to-home field trips that explore new dimensions of familiar spaces and objects. Brick walls, rock outcrops, lawns, broken pavement, weeds, and trees are all targets of exploration. The book is divided into topic sections (plants, animals, Earth science, etc.); each includes pre-field trip classroom activities, teacher preparation, and a list of trip possibilities. For urban areas, a special cross-referenced list of field trips for hard-topped school grounds is included.
