Take your classroom outdoors! Did you know scientists studying the rain forests use ropes and mountaineering techniques to get up into the canopy? Our course incorporates the forest into its design, allowing guests to observe mature tree top canopies and enjoy nature how it was meant to be. At Tree Trekkers your students will be able to study our canopy similar to those scientists. Tree Trekkers has developed environmental science and forestry lesson plans built on the P21 Framework for 21st Century Skills in order to engage students in the learning process and cultivate essential learning skills. Teacher and Student Plans available for grades 3rd, 4th, 5th, middle, and high school.

Zipline Lesson Plan
FUN FACTS
Your experience on a zip line course actually all comes down to science. For example, if you want to go faster, tuck your knees and arms in to make your body as small as possible and reduce friction. If you want to slow down, spread your body out like a star to increase the force of the air slowing you down.
Ask your students to guess who will go faster, people who weigh more or less, and then test your hypothesis and figure out why (think potential energy). Finally, practice steering by using the torque from your wrist and your momentum. Don’t hesitate to ask your guide to explain how the course works.
