Field Investigations: Using Outdoor Environments to Foster Student Learning of Scientific Processes Helps students become systems thinkers, learn the skills of scientific inquiry and understand that science doesn’t only happen in a laboratory or classroom. Outdoor experiences in natural settings increase students’ problem solving abilities and motivation to learn in social studies, science, language arts and math. To view a webinar on implementing Field Investigations and STEM, go to http://www.eeweek.org/webinars/field_investigations
