Extend your teaching beyond the walls of the classroom. Take your students on a Dakota County field trip.
Most field trip curriculum is aligned to the State Graduation Standards and specifically to the FOSS Kits (Full Option Science System). Professional field trip facilitators will present materials at an age appropriate level.
The average cost of a field trip is typically less than $4 per student.
