- Abingdon Elementary School Discovery TrailWatson, Kim; Parvinia, Mandana; Brown, Nathan (Virginia Tech. Community Design Assistance Center, 2006-02)Outdoor classrooms are fast becoming a popular installation at public and private elementary, intermediate, and high schools across the country. The idea behind an outdoor classroom is to bring the classroom learning into the outdoors, teaching topics ranging from biology to climatology to geology. This project was initiated by the Coalition for Jobs and the Environment, with the desire to provide the school with an outdoor classroom on its campus. The vision was broadened to include a “discovery trail” with a series of learning stations along its route. These learning stations would educate students on topics dealing with the outdoors, natural systems, and the built environment.
