BEYOND
THE CLASSROOM WINDOW
ACTION ACTIVITY: Physics - SCUBA
Research
indicates that the bond that exists
between the student and the teacher is directly
proportional to the students’ willingness to absorb information presented. Understanding this concept, the learning
strategy called “Beyond The
Classroom Window” utilizes action activities
designed to promote, enhance or reinforce this bond. Proper preparation and application of this
strategy creates an atmosphere of “family.” Discipline problems are replaced with a
desire for learning adventure.

Equipment
required for this activity:
All
equipment and training for this activity will
be supplied by Scuba World.
Special Note: Take your students on a Jacques Custeau adventure. An adventure they will never forget. Basic principles can be easily taught in the classroom setting in preparation for this adventure. But should you wish, everything required can be handled by the instructors at Scuba World. Your students will receive initial instruction in their classroom and then head for the local YMCA pool. Upon arrival, they will learn how to don their equipment and use it properly. Each participant will then have the adventure of diving underwater for up to twenty minutes (shallow end of pool). Age permitting (15 years +) they may choose to complete their lessons and receive certification.
