Students observe and record some of the structures of a crustacean, the crayfish, and compare it to other organisms. They establish a feeding and maintenance schedule for the organisms. Students investigate crayfish behavior and map where the crayfish spend time within their habitat. Through readings, organism cards, and a video, students learn about adaptations of organisms in different environments. Students engage in an outdoor simulation activity to explore food chains.

In Tomson Highway’s novel Kiss of the Fur Queen the opening passage transports the reader to the harsh, cold, and intense struggle of the caribou hunter, Abraham Okimasis during a championship husky sled race. Any race often proves to be physically and mentally exhausting for a person. Highway utilizes a fantastic variety of literary devices to dramatize Okimasis’ physical and emotional experience through his last leg of the race by creating a powerfully intense atmosphere through the effective use of descriptive imagery, passionate diction, repetition of words, and a tone of desperation.

The diversity of thought among people from all corners of Earth breeds an air of excitement and curiosity. Flying ignites a passion to explore new places and meet new people. I love Lincoln, Nebraska, but I love the exhilaration of new experiences that come with traveling.The unique food, culture, and architecture at every unique location taunt me, calling for me to abandon my home in search of fulfillment elsewhere. Exposure to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Los Angeles is a breath of fresh air from the monotony of Nebraskan life. Touching down in New York City at the end of a long flight is only the start of a new journey into a melting pot laced with opportunity for those who seek it. The idea of building my own path in a hub of diversity and opportunity is beyond appealing. Traveling to new places with varying demographics and cultures spoils the explorer within me who craves interaction outside of the incubator I call

However, I looked back to actually reflect what could make me happy in life and realized I did not need to go far in foreign countries to make a difference in the world. This realization hit me when my environmental science teacher suggested the class to volunteer and help plant a prairie by the Telge science center. Automatically, I was hooked. I brought my sisters along and planted near the science center where the district placed FFA livestock shows. Incidentally, I was surprised to make a difference to a place I was familiar to and all I had to do was open myself to helping others. As an agricultural teacher, I could continue learning over the several breeds of livestock, modern technology, beneficial insects and plants within the environment, because the proximity of nature will always be around me. I didn’t even need to leave the state or even the district to make scientific and environmental

As a student, I learned a significant amount of information on the Spring Break Trip through Georgia Agriculture. The four course objectives were accomplished. The students on the trip, including myself, gained knowledge about many aspects of Georgia agriculture, gained an appreciate for the complexity of Georgia agriculture and its vast network of farms and businesses, gained an understanding of employment opportunities related to Georgia agriculture, and gained an appreciation of the contribution of Georgia agriculture to the state’s economy and wellbeing. Each day during the trip, I wrote my reflective thoughts in my journal. While considering questions such as: “What did I learn about Georgia agriculture at this stop?” and “What was inspirational about this stop?” Our group visited four places each of the five days, which I am about to discuss.

Field trips are used as a great tool to motivate and educate students. They are enjoyable for both students and teachers. Field trips give students the opportunity to get away from learning in the classroom and dive into learning through hand-on experiences.

The field trip was educational and informational. I would like to thank the BGMS staff and nature experts for making this trip possible. Outdoor education is important because we need to know how to help, protect, and restore our rivers. Field trips are important because they give you information and education with a hands on

Willow Marsh, a freshman at Palmyra High School, has a passion for traveling all around the United States and has shared some of her most memorable parts about this experience. In 3rd grade Willow moved from Utah to Pennsylvania and this is what really started her love for traveling. When asked why she loves traveling so much she responds with, “it’s cool to experience all that the world has to offer.”

According to Lazear (2000), children who are stronger in this type of intelligences in elementary can tell stories and are competent in reading and writing (p. 107). After viewing of the Plants and Animals of the Everglades (Everglades National Park, n.d.), students will utilize the Internet and research two animals as characters in a story of their Life in the Everglades to be compiled in a Booklet, along with drawings. A rubric of the contents of the story telling would include challenges they go through in their environment, which includes their interaction with plants and other animals in the Everglades. A sharing session provides an avenue for the reading of the animals’ adventures in the Everglades. Students will perform this task

I enjoyed fantastic trips with these students including: several trips to Crystal River, Florida to swim with manatees, spending days at an oceanography camp at Trinity Center, Bogue Sound, North Carolina, visiting the Challenger STEM Learning Center in Chattanooga, and our yearly overnight trips to Wesley Woods. I also taught in summer programs for gifted kids at UT and LMU. In 2001 I became an Assistant Principal at Austin-East High School and years later at a middle school. A few years before my retirement, I monitored college prep curricula at several schools at the secondary

One of the most popular comedic movies that many people have seen not only once in their lifetime but also even more because of its sense of humors that gives everyone a good laugh throughout the movie is “Meet the Fockers” by Jay Roach. Because of the wide received amount of popularity the movie was followed by sequels “Meet the Parents” and then “Little Fockers.” Throughout this movie one of the most prevalent communication themes is interpersonal communication. “Meet the Fockers” is a movie that many people at different periods of their lives encounter experiences similar to the main character Gaylord

Imagine getting away from the monotony of your everyday life. You can lie on the beach sipping a cool drink miles away from your worries of getting a paper done or helping a customer at work. You can be on top of a mountain overlooking beautiful lands that are different from your own backyard. Half of the class has taken a vacation less than five times in their lifetimes, but let’s face that most of those probably included those little family vacations to Disneyland. But, all of you said that you planned to travel someday. So, why not do it sooner than later? One of the reasons for not traveling that many of you put is not having time because of school or work. Also, one of your major concerns is

In the quiet town of Hemorrhageville lived such a noble boy as Danniford Frump. Danny was a boy with great passion. If he enjoyed doing something, he pursued it with all his heart, and did not stop until he got the exact result he had hoped for. Once Danny saw a wild pig that he wanted to make a pet of his, so he chased it until he caught it, which took him about 4 hours. He did not give up. That pig is now in Dan’s memories as his first pet, and some of the best bacon he had ever eaten. Another time, he wanted a blue jay feather that was resting atop a post in the town square, so he climbed up the 25-foot post to retrieve it. Even though it was a tall and smooth post, Danny found a way, or rather, MADE a way. This

Mr. Black, the U.S. Geography teacher, wants his class to see the world of Indiana.

There is more risk involved in a making a field trip than in attending a typical day at school. The travel is longer, the destination is new and unknown.
