I know this now. I feel a lot less pressure and feel more blessed. I hope this helps those that feel like they may be not getting enough school time in. I love the idea of visiting local businesses.
I can see how it would help teens feel connected to community while also learning about career options and hard work. Perhaps working farms and orchards could be added to the list? We have enjoyed field trips to orchards, metro parks, botanical gardens, and farms.
One farm we visit nearly every fall has corn mazes we love. One is in the shape of our state-Ohio with clues and facts about Ohio to locate.
We have also taken each of our graduates on a special senior trip. The first was to Virginia to visit Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. The second graduate chose D. We thoroughly enjoyed both trips and it made their senior year special. One of the coolest ones we have done is to a metal recycling site. They showed us sorting the metals, buying, selling, moving process and even crushing a car. We have also been to numerous county facilities like waste water treatment plant, town water facility drinking water , and the county registrar did an awesome voting program for us.

We do live in another country so just about every day is a field trip but I would add on personal interest of the kids…like mine helped me brainstorm the following: College campus tour: — could even break this out into different field trips like their science lab and science teachers, the life of a librarian, sport team, etc.

Space is beyond our reach for field trips for now, but planetariums make the cosmos feel close. A lot of kids are curious about space. To this day, I remember the anticipation I felt the night before the field trip we took to the planetarium. Stepping into the cool planetarium, staring up at different planets and constellations- it was a larger than life experience.
I recommend a field trip to the planetarium for students of all ages! There are tons of state and national parks that are perfect for field trips! They learn a bunch and then take a trip around the reservoir on a pontoon this is usually the highlight of the field trip for them.
I know that I certainly could use some more time with Mother Nature. Outdoor field trips allow students to have the opportunity to connect with nature and learn about the world around them. In truth, any field trip you take with your students is bound to be memorable. Hopefully this list of cool field trip ideas will inspire some engaging field trips! Happy travels!! Between COVID and lack of funding for field trip transportation, many teachers may think that they cannot have their students participate in field trips this school year.
Thankfully, this is not the case. There are several elementary virtual field trips for teachers to choose from.
When it comes to planning a field trip for kids there are a million and one things to remember. My hope is that this list will serve as a guide to planning a well-thought-out field trip for kids and leave little room for unwanted surprises.
After all, the point of a field trip is for students to gain real-life experience and take their learning a step beyond the classroom. Back Counseling.

Educational Field Trips The purpose of a school field trip is usually observation for education, non-experimental research, or to provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities, such as going camping with teachers and their classmates.
