Baggage Tags for Learning Out of Doors.

The manual provides teachers with not only educational outdoor activities, but also with activities that can be provided on an individual level. The only equipment needed for most of these activities is a bought or homemade "baggage tag". These tags are used for a variety of purposes such as plant and animal identification, nature quiz games, and rockhunts. One of the best attributes of this method is that students can make up their own activities. In addition to general learning activities, the baggage tags can be used as a review or test. Suggested activities are grouped by subject area and level of difficulty. These are arbitrary, however, since any of them can be graded up or down to suit the students involved. There are 25 activities given for science; 15 for language arts; 10 for social studies; and 10 for math. (KM)
