A typical fieldtrip:
8am school starts. 8:30am load bus and ...
leave school on bus with lots of parents, lunch, snacks, notebooks, water, students, teachers and EAs.
arrive Lake Maloya, hold safety meeting.
unload all equipment, unpack microscopes and collection gear.
shoreline litter pickup and food chain scavenger hunt.
- interview Park Ranger (taking notes in field journals)
- collect aquatic invertebrates from shoreline.
- Identify critters using microscopes and ID sheets.
- Journal all data.
- Pre-trained groups hand out fishing gear, assemble bait, group assembles the fishing gear.
- Go Fish.
- Lunch.
- More Fishing.
- Put away all equipment except field journals.
- Write a story based on what we did that day, it can be fictional!
- Count noses, get on bus and back to school by 2pm.

Hello Ti, It's good to see that you are ending the fishing experience with a language arts activity. All the equipment is returned and students settle down before getting on the bus to go back to school. Joe Fagan
