What it does
A before, during and after plan that turns a trip, simulation or practical activity into learning that sticks. Students come back with understanding, not just a good day out. You give the learning objective and the type of experience. The plan builds on well-known work on learning from experience: prepare students with questions and prior knowledge, run the activity with set tasks to observe or record, then reflect afterwards on what happened, why and what to do differently. It ends with a way to apply the lesson to new cases and a simple check of what they learned. You can add age group, subject and available time.
