& w w ) Driving Question and Outcomes/Objectives. * * ( L Outcomes/Objectives:
To be able to make connections between classroom material and growing power farm.
To be able to recognize what their part in helping the environment can be.
To be able to understand how different animals and plants work together in the environment.
Driving question: How do plants grow in urban environments?
< > > Background Knowledge Terms Compost-A mixture of decaying organic matter, as from leaves and manure, used to improve soil structure and provide nutrients.
Recycling-To extract useful materials from (garbage or waste). To extract and reuse (useful substances found in waste).
Greenhouse-A structure, primarily of glass, in which temperature and humidity can be controlled for the cultivation or protection of plants.
Agriculture-The science, art, and business of cultivating soil, producing crops, and raising livestock; farming
Castings- the correct term for the worm poop, which helps in the decomposition of the waste
Decomposition-Breakdown or decay of organic materials.

- Connection of terms to fieldtrip ! ! | These terms are important for the students to know because they are discussed throughout the tour of Growing Power.
The students need to understand that the worm castings help to form the compost, which is made by the decomposition of materials. This compost is then used throughout the greenhouses to help further enrich the agriculture. The students will also need to be aware of what recycling is because it is a big part of Growing Power.
It is important for the students to learn these terms because they need to be aware of how each of these terms work in the environment and able to produce materials that we use everyday. } P

Basic Information Cost per student= $5; Cost per adult= $10. Therefore, a class of 40 students, the teacher, and three chaperones, it would cost $ 240. there would also be additional cost of the bus transportation.
The student would take a bus to reach Growing Power.
Growing Power did not seem to have accommodations for special needs, such as wheelchairs. That would need to be taken into consideration when planning of this fieldtrip.

Importance of this fieldtrip This fieldtrip is important for the students because it relates to many different scientific topics that are covered throughout the year. The student are able to see what a large scale recycling project looks like and also to see how they can do their part to help the environment. Growing power shows the students that they are capable of making a difference in the world today. Z H G e n e r a l c h e c k l i s t a s a n a s s e s s m e n t % % ( o
To be able to make connections between classroom material and growing power farm.
- An example of this would be the student saw recycling at Growing Power through their reusing of the dryer as sifter of the soil.
To be able to recognize what their part in helping the environment can be.
An example of this would be that the students are able to compost in their backyard.
To be able to understand how different animals and plants work together in the environment.
An example of this would be that the students understand how the worms move through the soil to help decompose the materials.
The students will be able to illustrate these connections and observations in a reflection/summary that they will be expected to write after the fieldtrip. The students are supposed to write how what they learned at Growing Power and how it relates to their classroom learning.

Wiggling Worms at Work By: Wendy Pfeffer and Steve Jenkins
Compost!: Growing Gardens from Your Garbage By: Linda Glaser R % + , J $ R Cross-Curricular Connections This fieldtrip can be connected to Social Studies because the students will be learning about the different types of plants and animals which are native to a particular region of the world. The students will also see what are the materials neccessary for the suvivial of these plants and animals.
This fieldtrip can be connected to Math because the student can figure out the amount of plants that Growing Power produces over the course of one month.
This fieldtrip can be connected to English because the students are required to write a summary after the fieldtrip connecting the fieldtrip to their classroom discussions. So they will need to incorporate proper grammar into their summaries.

Misconceptions Identified D Here are a few misconceptions that will be identified through the tour of Growing Power.
Growing Power is not just a worm farm.
Every aspect of Growing power is related to each other.
Showing the students that it is important to have knowledge of the animals because they have special needs.
These were some of the misconceptions that we had before taking our tour of Growing Power. This shows us that some of the students may be confused before they take the tour. We also need to remember to take time and stop throughout the tour and see if any students have questions. < Y Z Z Z Y >
