During the First Flight Field Trip, students will refer to a workbook which explores how the properties of ice play a role in the students daily lives as well as on the rink at Honda Center. With the combination of the First Flight workbook and live interviews with players, students will learn about the different states of matter, heat transfer, and friction as is relates to the sport of hockey. Both live and taped segments from players and coaches will appear on the HondaVision scoreboard during practice, which will help to further explain the concepts found in the workbook lessons.
In addition, the Ducks have partnered with many local educational organizations and civic-minded corporations to present more than 60 hands-on exhibits that supplement lessons found in the First Flight workbook (a complete list of participants is included below). Approximately 150 volunteers are scheduled to assist students with educational instruction on the “Playground.”
Recognized as an educational event for all ages by the California State Assembly and as a contributor to informal education by the National Science Teachers' Association, the First Flight Field Trip is completely free to participating schools and students, and the curriculum has been designed to meet the state's educational content standards for grades 3-6. The S.C.O.R.E. program was developed in 2005 with the goal of promoting and cultivating healthy living and academic excellence to all students in Southern California.
