I would say that the general nature of
this field trip is so very hands on and kinesthetic, that this is an unintentional teaching modification. Additionally, there is an opportunity for students who speak Spanish to receive translation in their first language. The learning environment is an extremely diverse area with many opportunities for students to construct his or her own conceptualization of nature and the processes that occur within a diverse ecosystem. The students are sharing their discoveries with each other allowing them to have opportunities for processing new information in new ways. Additionally, the field trip allows students to connect to previously learned information in ways that are both meaningful to them, as well as involving all senses of the body. Students who participate in WinterTrek are also encouraged to predict and ask questions regarding their prior beliefs concerning habitat and nature, and ask what is going on (cognitive

disequilibrium). By doing so, the
teacher and Ranger can provide information allowing students to reconstruct their beliefs in valid ways which make sense to them by being in the actual environment they are learning about (Martin, 2012). Wintertrek provides students with guided inquiry in an authentic setting. The students work together to make conjectures and predictions based upon their background knowledge and familiarity with the Heavenly/Lake Tahoe landscape and snowshoes. During this guided tour, the Teacher and ranger have opportunity to walk around to ask questions, address misunderstandings, and illicit higher order thinking. The diversity of cultures, abilities and/or language among students are addressed specifically by providing a Spanish speaking ranger, and snowmobile for disabled students. What are the challenges to conduct a field trip at this location? However, in this varied terrain, certain challenges include inaccessibility to location due to weather for buses, gondolas (wind hold) as well as students who have a disposition to altitude sickness and exertion. Students should bring lunches, snacks and water, as well as sunscreen, gloves and proper winter clothing for skin protection.
