How to Assess Learning Associated with Field Trips

# data[].attributes.body
-Create resources and worksheets that relate to the lessons learned on the field trip that can be used to assess student understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
-Plan ahead
-Research Places
-Create a related lesson for the field trip
-Talk with parents
-Teach topics that support the field trip that the students will be going on

Field trips help bridge formal and informal knowledge, and prepare students for lifelong learning.

Learning needs to involve the real world; virtual field trips provide educators with the opportunity to make learning come alive in a way that textbooks cannot.

Traditional field trips are too costly and too much of a liability. Virtual field trips provide students and educators with an enjoyable  way to explore a given topic without the overbearing cost.

Virtual field trips can also be applied to students with handicaps or educational exceptionalities by giving them unlimited opportunities to “travel” virtually.

Students, with a partner, will take turns measuring each other’s heights and wingspans. They will then record their data. After the students will analyze the Vitruvian principles that can be taken away from
Da Vinci’s equations.

Pre Assessment: Students will participate in a class discussion about Leonardo Da Vinci and answer questions orally as a class based on the discussion with 100% accuracy allowing for self-correction.

Lesson: The fourth grade students will take measurements of their partner and compare the data to the Vitruvian principles found on the Da Vinci website, using laptops, measuring tape, and recording sheets, and will do so while getting their measurements correct with a three inch margin.

Create understanding of the past by using and analyzing primary and secondary sources.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.
