When I originally started looking for field trip ideas I just Googled field trip ideas Stark County. I was very happy to see Stark Parks is an indoor/outdoor, free, educational based center with a TON of activities for classes and families alike. There are several different outdoor areas to explore like the Cook's Lagoon http://starkparks.com/park.asp?park=7 or Devonshire Park http://starkparks.com/park.asp?park=19 or Sippo Lake (that we are going to) http://starkparks.com/park.asp?park=1&view=9 to just name a few. There are also many other aspects to Stark Parks that include "travel boxes" that you can use in your classroom or homeschool room. Perhaps you wanted to do a unit on fossils. They have a travel box with all the elements you would need, including lesson plans. :) They also work with animal rescue. As seen in this Youtube Video,( http://youtu.be/u8dsFeDNflk.)
I am excited to share this experience with my class and show them what Stark County has to offer, so close to home and yet far away from it all.
