Orbit Skate Center is very excited to announce our new, unique education based field trips. Our program, called Newton Knew IT! is a one of a kind experience that will focus on education and fun for your students. The staff at Orbit Skate Center will be facilitating this field trip so the teacher can be involved as much or little as desired.

Educational Trips should be great fun too!

As schools face greater accountability and curriculum plans that are based on the Illinois Performance Descriptors, we understand that for some of you, recreational field trips may be a thing of the past. That’s why we have worked with Certified Teachers to develop a new and exciting program to combine the excitement of science with the fun and health benefits of roller skating.

In our Newton Knew IT! program, students will be actively engaged in science exploration and inquiry. Our program is based on the Performance Descriptors for Illinois. Students will learn how forces and motion relate to skating and other activities. This program is one way to help students make a direct connection between the science that is learned in the classroom and their daily lives.

As part of the Newton Knew IT! program, students will be actively engaged in a variety of hands on explorations at several mini-lab stations. This program is an exciting and engaging way to reintroduce students to motion and energy while making a great addition to your existing challenging curriculum.
