Get ready – the Anaheim Ducks are set up to S.C.O.R.E. another goal!

And this one’s going to be a “win” for thousands of students.

On March 2nd, the Ducks will host their all-virtual “First Flight Field Trip”. This is a free event, available to classrooms worldwide.

Jason Cooper, Manager of Fan Development Marketing for the Anaheim Ducks, says that, like previous onsite events such as “Light the Lamp”, this presentation will be “as interactive as possible”.

Themed “Cool As Ice”, the program will take third- to sixth-grade students through what science principles mean to the Ducks, when they’re talking about the thermodynamics of ice. What makes the ice good for skating? How can they tell? And how can the students experience these principles at home?

Jason says the Ducks are offering free resources–a workbook and a kit–for educators who register by January 31st. Here’s the link.

BUT–if you don’t get to sign up for the resources by that deadline–you’re still welcome to have your students log in on March 2nd and be a part of “Cool As Ice” , through the Ducks’ webpage!

Now–S.C.O.R.E.? This is an acronym for “Scholastic Curriculum of Recreation and Education”. In an earlier interview, Jason shared the story of this unique educational program, of which “First Flight Field Trip” is just ONE feature!

Jason previewed the upcoming “First Flight Field Trip”, shared a look at the thermodynamics behind the considerations involved in “skate-able” ice, and offered a look ahead at the planned field trip for 2023.
