Tennessee Farm Bureau and the Tennessee State Fair are excited to present the 2016 educational Field Trip Days. Field Trip Days are Monday, Sept. 12, for elementary students and Tuesday, Sept. 13 for high school students.
Both days are free to all students and run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Students are able to experience hands-on STEM activities while enjoying Tennessee’s Largest Outdoor Classroom. Teachers can stop by the Show Arena for complimentary educational resources for each registered school group to supplement science, math, language arts, social studies and nutrition curriculum.
Teachers will be sent lesson plans/activities and commodity information to go along with the educational features of the fair so they can supplement their classroom instruction with lessons from the fair to meet curriculum standards.
