Outdoor education usually refers to organized learning that takes place in the outdoors. Outdoor education programs sometimes involve residential or journey-based experiences in which students participate in a variety of adventurous challenges in the form of outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, canoeing, ropes courses, and group games. Outdoor education draws upon the philosophy, theory, and practices of experiential education and environmental education.

Q. how do I solve these questions and can you please show the steps. 1. perimeter of a rectangle one side of a triangle is 2cm shorter than the base. The other side is 3cm longer than the base. What lengths of the base will allow the perimeter to be greater than 19cm? 2. A person is considered to be feverish when his or her temperature is higher than 98.6 F.

A. 1. let b = base of the triangle ...One side of a triangle is 2cm shorter than the base... s1 = b - 2 ...other side is 3cm longer than the base... s2 = b + 3 ...What lengths of the base will allow the perimeter to be greater than 19cm?... perimeter = b + s1 + s2 > 19 b + (b - 2) + (b + 3) > 19 3b + 1 > 19 3b > 18 b > 6 cm 2. ...A person is considered to be feverish when his or her temperature is higher than 98.6 F... F = 9/5C + 32 > 98.6 9/5C + 32 > 98.6 9/5C > 98.6 - 32 9/5 C > 66.6 C > 66.6 * 5/9 C > 37 3. A = 3 = 0.5 * b * h 3 = 0.5 * 1.5 * h h = 3/(1.5 * 0.5) h = 4

A. Gross motor skills: String 4 large beads on a shoe string. Already having the paper shredded; (colorful paper) put glue stick glue on construction paper and let them put the pieces on a paper mosaic. 1 fingerplay would be. Singing to (are you sleeping) where is thumbkin, look it up; learning the names of the fingers. Fine motor skills: doing puzzles, drawing, painting. also; was that theme you picked classification? Because you're gonna have to be more specific on what exactly you're classifying? Because than you could make the gross motor skills and finger plays etc...based on your theme; because that is what you're suppose to do. And it is good to have time limits on the lesson plan; to make it look like the day is more structurized! [cont.]
