The Big Zoo Lesson
April 2015 GLENCAIRN SCIENCE FIELD EXPERIENCE
This is not your typical field trip! The students will be Scientists, learning much about Organisms and their Structural and Behavioral Characteristics. The FIVE DAY Field Experience provides students with hands-on, up-close activities to get to know their one chosen animal as well as many other animals at the zoo.
We have been discussing HUMAN BEHAVIORS at the zoo and your child should be able to tell you the field trip expectations for their success at the zoo.
Glencairn Students are expected to be:
1. Respectful--to the zoo property, the animals, and to other visitors.
2. Responsible--using their time wisely and completing their assignments.
3. Safe--remaining in the area they are assigned, taking a buddy and asking an adult before using the restroom, and staying away from the animal enclosures.
Students will be signing their permission slip, noting that they understand these expectations. Parents, you will also be providing a telephone number where you can be reached in the event of an emergency. Thanks for your help in supporting your child's learning!
What Should We Bring to the Zoo?
Every morning, the students should bring the following in their backpack:
1. Lunch and a drink (unbreakable containers, please)
2. Clean spare shoes or slippers for inside
3. LAYERS of clothing to stay warm and dry
4. A spare change of clothing (including socks and underwear) just in case!
5. CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST, then come with coats, mittens/gloves, scarves, rain gear, boots, and other items as necessary
