    Educational Field Trips: Schools & Organizations

    Wahoo Bay Field Experiences are already Broward County School Board Water-related field trip approved, teachers only need to receive approval from their principal before requesting a field experience date. These field experiences are meant to provide students and teachers with hands-on, inquiry and research-based learning experiences. Our goal is to help students learn locally so they can think globally. Wahoo Bay provides a local, living laboratory that allows students to learn about Florida coastlines and be a part of the solutions necessary to protect them.

    The skills students learn throughout the experience are practical and provide them with the abilities to analyze and interpret real data, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Overall, this approach enriches the learning experience and connects students with their community and the practical application of science. Integrating research allows students to realize they have the ability at any age to solve a problem - that they are all researchers and scientists and how to work with others and get and ask for help when needed.
