Student Group Tours · Units
A school trip works as learning when each stop gives students something to do and something to bring home. These eight units are modules that can be placed in a longer route. The tasks work at any site: observe, record, calculate, map, log, draw, choose, create.

The school's coordinator confirms each fit against the current syllabus, because course documents change. A school that wants a different course covered names it in the proposal request, and a unit is added or reshaped for it.
