	STUDENT FIELD TRIPS GENERAL INFO The ABCRI Box Car Track is an educational and stimulating environment for students and teachers. ABCRI instructors will teach the Field Trip Teachers and Volunteer Parents how to teach the students step-by-step to drive box cars. Both students and adults will have an opportunity to learn the skills needed to master box car driving. BOX CAR PHYSICS ABCRI provides a Box Car Physics Text to assist teachers and students as they learn about the hands-on physics employed in driving Box Cars, such as gravity, levers, friction and lubrication. Teachers may use our Physics Text before, during and after a Box Car Field Trip. Students may closely inspect our box cars during their break. We also have a three wheel lubrication demonstrator available. FIELD TRIP CONTRACT Every Student Group must complete a student group contract.
