Geocaching


I've been geocaching for about 6 years now. GEOCACHING is a free real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS and can then share their experiences online. For the past 5 years, Discovery Educator Network has sponsored an annual geocaching day. I have participated and hosted a local event for this day each year. The attendance varies from year to year but the fun remains. I want to continue geocaching and hope to implement geocaching into my curriculum. I started incorporating geocaching as a culminating activity for my Forensic Science unit four years ago. Not sure how many of my students get the love for geocaching like I do, but I am happy to pass on this love regardless.
