"The EL Education model connects students to the world beyond school through meaningful fieldwork, collaboration with experts, and service learning. In addition to learning from text and classroom-based experiences, students use the natural and social environments of their communities as sites for purposeful fieldwork and service connected to academic work. They collaborate with professional experts and community members with firsthand knowledge of events and issues to ensure accuracy, integrity, and quality in their work.
EL Education differentiates between traditional field trips, in which students are often spectators, and fieldwork, in which students are active investigators, applying the research tools, techniques of inquiry, and standards of presentation used by professionals in the field."
"I like fieldwork because we learned about physics in a fun way. At Gripstone, we got to climb and talk about the physics. I learned that if a climber has more mass it will change how they climb. Fieldwork is for us to learn from other people who study what we are learning about."

"On fieldwork at our school, we can learn about anything like physics, outer space, wildlife, and also about math. We go on fieldwork so we can learn from scientists about what materials they use in their job and how they use their skills."

"Students at PPSEL go on fieldwork to learn more about what they're studying. We went to Gripstone because we went to learn about Olympic climbing and see Newton's Laws in sports. We went to the Museum of Nature and Science so we could see the health exhibit to learn about the motion of humans."

Students visited the Museum of Nature and Science to explore two exhibits. The first revolved around space and the movement of time within space. They also visited the human body exhibit. This exhibit involved how humans use their bodies in specific ways to achieve goals. They climbed, checked their vitals, and observed how their bodies move in precise ways to function!

Students visited the Gripstone climbing gym to observe and participate in physical movement in an athletic setting. They learned about how Newton's three laws impact an athletes decisions while climbing.
