1. Building Our School CommunityConcept- Community: A community is a group of living and non-living things who interact and occupy the same area. The members of a community interact with each other to meet their basic needs and survive. The actions of one member affects the whole community.

Being there Location(s): Outdoor Learning Center, school grounds

Guest Speaker- Mr. Haynes-beekeeper

Organizing Concept- A community is a group of living and non-living things who interact and occupy the same area. The members of a community interact with each other in order to meet their basic needs to survive. The actions of one member affect the whole community.

2. Exploring Our Local CommunityConcept- Exploration is the act of looking at something carefully. When something is explored, we become aware of things that wouldn’t be noticed otherwise. Exploring our world helps us to investigate how objects, ideas, and people work together to improve the world in which we live.

BeingThere Location(s): Weinman Mineral Museum, Kennesaw Mountain, Home Depot, Marietta History Museum, Etowah Indian Mounds

Guest Speaker – a long-term Cobb County native, Physics professor, MRI technician Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

Social Action: To create informational realia for children at the local children’s hospital, raise money for children’s hospital MRI department

•Growth and Change in Cobb County•Rocks, Minerals, Fossils•Eastern Woodlands and Plains Indians•Landforms,•Magnetism•Early Explorers•Civil WarRationale: When students experience their environment and realize that all living things in any type of community are dependent upon each other, then they begin to better understand themselves and their role as responsible citizens who affect the entire community,

3. Working with Each Other in Our Community

Concept: Economics is the study of goods and services, which is one of the ways that members of a community are dependent upon each other. Understanding economics helps us to be more responsible and contributing members of our community.

Being There Location(s): Walmart, Atlanta, local mayor’s officeGuest Speaker(s): small business owner, city councilman

Social Action: To raise awareness of and money for those who don’t have money for goods and services (local homeless shelter)

4. Protecting Our Community – the Earth

Concept – Cause is an action or event that makes something happen, and the effect is the outcome of that action. Understanding cause and effect relationships helps us to make better decisions which could impact our community.

BEING THERE


Why Being There?

Study trips proved sensory input to the brain.


Being There Trips

Basing curriculum on being there experiences is a key way to translate the first four brain research principles.

All 19 senses are activated, producing maximum electrical and chemical activity in the brain. Input, which is rich and varied, is plentiful. The result is more learning and a greater likelihood that such learning will be retained in long-term memory. Being there input occurs when real things are studied in their real world context, such as a pond, lake or wetlands, a mall, a factory – literally being there!© Exceeding Expectations, by Susan Kovalik & Karen D. Olsen, p. 1.11

Why Being There?

Study trips create an emotional experience.


Why Being There?

Study trips provide real application of concepts and

skills.


Ask Yourself Two Key Questions:

1. What do people (workers and visitors) need to know and be able to do at this location in order to work at/use this site effectively?

2. What are the most important concepts and skills form my school’s curriculum standards?


Preplanning for the Study Trip• Visit the Location

• Go on the tour

• Meet the guides

• Get Permission


Step 1:Analyze the potential of the site to teach what your students need to learn.

Step 2:Visit prospective being there locations to determine which provide richest learning environments.

Step 3:Do research at the library and on the Internet.

Step 4:Revisit your curriculum.

Selecting Physical Locations

2.10


• The most important concepts and skills of the state standards are taught through the location and taught to mastery.

• Students readily apply concepts and skills when solving a real-world problem; they are able to bring multiple disciplines to bear as needed.


• Students are aware of the seams between the subjects, e.g., grocery store.
