Best Practices for Field Days: 2008 Children’s Water Festival Evaluation: Presentation Skills for 29 Learning Stations

Abstract

Twenty-nine stations were observed by sixteen observers. Because the research studies could not control how many times that a station was observed, some of the stations were observed only once, while other stations were observed more than once. The station, “Water! Science Museum” was observed the most frequently, a total of sixteen times by sixteen different observers. The stations observed once by the sixteen observers are: “Well,Well,Well”, “DisappearingWaterfall Mystery”, “Streams Creatures”, “Lakes & Rivers & Oceans-Ohmy”, “BackyardWater Recycling”, and “Groundwater on the Move.” The following stations were not observed at all: “Water!Water! From the River to the River”and“Water Arcade.”
