Out and About: Deciding the Best Field Trip

Students are asked to decide which field trips would be the most cost effective and be the best one(s) for their grade level to attend. They are given a set dollar amount and asked to consider distance, cost of busses per mile, admission costs, food costs, and also consider feedback from other students regarding how fun and how educational the trip will be.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.
