Field Studies

"Hands On, Minds On" is our philosophy, and students find a Frosty Drew field study an unforgettable experience.
We offer nine field studies that approach scientific concepts in life science, earth and space science, physical science, and math in a fun way. Our field studies address Rhode Island GSEs/GLEs and Connecticut's Common Core of Learning/GLEs and can be adapted to specific curriculum needs.
For descriptions of our field studies or to download a brochure, letter, and additional details. Please visit our Field Studies page.
If you, or a teacher you know, might find this a good field trip, for a reasonable fee, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at fieldstudies@frostydrew.org or call our main number, 401.364.9508, and we will get back to you. Introducing the nature or the sky to a young person is a beautiful way to show how science is a natural, viable part of life.
