X f XPSUCBCC Calculating, demonstrating, computing, reporting, researching, and memorizing are all important to the classroom scene. And onfsite iieldtrips give the students the initiative to learn. F ieldtrips have contributed and enhanced many different areas of study during the past year. Ron Andersorfs Biology II classes went to the University of Montana swimming pool to learn the basics of scuba diving. Students in the classes were stu- dying marine biology. The trip allowed students to learn exactly what it is like to breathe underwater. Several students expressed amazement that their lungs could only handle two or three pounds of air pressure, while marine animals' lungs have the ability to withstand several hundred pounds of air pressure. Russ Sheriff sbiology class took a trip to the Stevensville Wildlife Refuge to look for birds. The classes were studying the different types of birds in North America. The home decorating classes took several small trips to Steigler's mobile homes, and Union Square to get ideas for the type of home furnishings they would like in the future. Business law and criminology classes went to the Missoula County court house to see a civil trial and the 911 offices. These trips gave the student a first hand sight at how the judicial system Works in today's society. Theresa Sheperd's data process- ing classes went to the vo-tech center to get a presentation on data processing. Bob Womack's Montana History classes went to The Big Hole Battle Field to see the site of the Battle of The Big Hole. Stella Robert's biology classes went to a small area pond to study biotic community life, to testthe water quality, and to collect specimens. One can read and study about a place or event, but only first' hand on-site experience can make an image in mind of somethings real stature as a real witness to learning. r Out-of-school ' class sessions give students T special on-loca- T tion learning experiences
