Description

PLEASE READ THE DETAILS OF THIS FIELD TRIP CAREFULLY. EACH FIELD TRIP HAS UNIQUE GUIDELINES FOR AGES, NUMBER OF CHAPERONES, ETC. NO REFUNDS! This field trip is for Heartland Charter School students and their families. Come enjoy a hands on experience as we explore science concepts such as floating, sinking, and gravity. Students will compare items that float and sink. They will also explore the science behind falling objects.Educational Resources:This trip is educational because students will be learning about items that float and others that sink. They will demonstrate their understanding of such concepts by collaborating with a small group and explaining why certain items float or sink. They will then demonstrate an understanding of gravity by working to create a plan to protect an egg that is dropped from a high point (this part will be completed at home with parents).We encourage families to turn in a sample that is linked to the field trip that you attended during your next learning period. It helps to ensure that we can continue to provide these trips and their educational value. Heartland field trips are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family, please indicate this when you register your student and let the field trip host know once you complete your registration. Any student that is registered without a chaperone will have their reservation canceled unless the family reaches out to the field trip lead and lets them know which registered chaperone will be responsible for their student. **To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, please do not attend a field trip if you, your student(s), or anyone in your household is ill or showing possible signs of illness.***Masks will be required for all indoor field trips per California state guidelines.Please read our refund policy!
