On-site Field Trips

The grade level field trips align to the Next Generation Science Standards, but the fourth grade field field trip is aligned to the Hawaii Core Standards for Social Studies. One field trip for Grades 2 and above offers two different art activities of your choosing.

Topics Covered:

Grade K: Plant Explorations: This field trip engages the five senses to explore all the parts of a plant.
First Grade: Students explore the concept of trait variation in plants.
Second Grade: Students will learn about the interdependence between plants, insects, and animals in relation to pollination and seed dispersal.
Third Grade: Students will learn about adaptations in plants and the relationship between a plant’s traits and its environment.
Fourth Grade: In this field trip, addressing the Hawaii Core Standards for Social Studies, students will learn about our Hawaiian environment and why humans changed the environment, and why we decide to live where we do.
All Grades: If you would like to spend the morning hiking in all weather, this is the trip for you. Unlike our other, standards-based field trips, this is a fluid experience. The topics discussed and routes taken will vary according to weather conditions, what’s in bloom, group age, and the energy level of the group.
Self-Guided Field Trips: Self-Guided field trips are an alternative option for individual classes (of no more than 25 students) that would like to create their own unique experience at the Arboretum.
