Description: Outdoor field explorations are a meaningful way to engage learners through readings, videos, and outdoor activities that can be done in the backyard or the schoolyard. Explore place-based field investigations that focus on your local area, such as exploring spring and fall with the five senses, bird migration, frog life-cycles, planting gardens, local geology, plants and medicines, and fishing on Lake Superior! Student developed Virtual Reality Experiences are also featured. Learn how to engage your students with these activities and lessons, and how to create your own!
