Children learn best by doing, and social studies can help them to get actively engaged in their learning experiences. After learning about the benefits of fieldwork, you should have a solid understanding of how to make professional and ethical choices when planning field trips.

Imagine you are planning a social studies activity for your early childhood students. Select the age group for the lesson: 0-4 months, 5-12 months, 2-4 years old, or 5-8 years old. As part of this activity, you will plan a field trip within the community or at your school or center that is best suited for the children. Once you have your activity planned, post your responses to the following:
