3rd grade RMSC Field Trip
South Carolina In A Day
Social Studies and Science Experience
Classes rotate through four different 45-minute learning labs. Learning labs support both the Science and Social Studies state standards around the theme of our Palmetto State: South Carolina. Lunch will be scheduled as part of your visit.
S.C. Daily Life in the 1800s Living History Farm
Travel back in time with your students as they discover what life was like for independent farmers who lived in the South Carolina backcountry during the early 1800s. By participating in the daily chores that were required in the barn, garden, farmhouse, and kitchen, students will learn how these families scratched out a living on the Carolina frontier and compare their lifestyle to those of other social classes living throughout the rest of the state. Social Studies Standards: 3-1.3, 3-4.1
African Influence and the Soul of S.C. Living History Farm
Discover the cultural and economic impact of Africans upon South Carolina during the antebellum era by exploring our authentic local slave cabin for an eye-opening look at the living conditions of slaves and sharecroppers. Through participating
in hands-on activities in our heirloom garden, students will evaluate the impact of the skills and knowledge utilized by slaves in successfully growing South Carolina’s major cash crops of indigo, rice, and cotton. Social Studies Standards: 3-1.3, 3-2.5
Carolina Treasures: Our State’s Minerals Mineral Lab
What is a mineral? How are minerals used? These and other questions will be answered as students discover there are mineral treasures buried under their feet that have important roles in our everyday lives. Our “mineral detectives” will refine their inquiry skills by determining the physical properties and uses of a set of products mined in South Carolina. They’ll also learn about the formation of crystals, and pan for gem stones. Science Standards: 3.E.4A.1, 3.E.4A.3
Animals of the Palmetto State Natural Science Classroom
Through handling and closely examining a variety of live animals, students will discover ways in which these unique organisms obtain food for energy within specific South Carolina habitats. Science Standards 3.L.5A.2
