Outdoor Education Guide-Handbook, Waukesha Public Schools.
Vitale, Joseph A.
Designed by the Waukesha Public Schools (Wisconsin) specifically for an elementary level three-day camping trip at Camp Phantom Lake, this outdoor education guide presents some activities which suggest adaptation. Activity directions, plans, worksheets, evaluation sheets, and illustrations are presented in sequential order for the following disciplines which, by design, frequently overlap: (1) Mathematics (activities involving measurement of height, distance, hills, triangles)-; (2) Social Studies (activities involving map and compass skills via use of a comPass trail); (3) Science (scientific observation using a "micro trail" approach, observation tools, and sensory skills); (4) Language Arts (an activity Progressing from meditation to creative writing and including discussions, sketching, water color painting, pantomiming, and poetry); (5) Physical Education (frisbee toss, run and summersault relay, endurance race, football throw, leap frog, kickball, and tug of war). Indicative of the variety of activities presented are: (1) a candlelight ceremony designed to offer students opportunity to express a "gut" feeling to the group; (2) a section on water pollution testing (chemical analysis, filmstrip, and questions); (3) a guide to making a "friendship stick" (emphasis on symbolic significance). Also included are a 46-item awareness test and the necessary school forms for such an outing. (JC)
