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.
PHYSICS CLASS
A 20 minute Box Car Physics Class is part of the Field Trip activities at no additional program fee.
Interactive demonstrators help students learn about physics principles such as gravity, levers, friction and lubrication and how they apply to Box Cars.
NOTE: Both of our Physics Class Instructors are back in
school--one teaching, one studying. Availability of our Box Car Physics Class is limited by Kelly's class schedule. Field Trip school teachers are welcome to use our Physics Text.
