Field Studies

"Hands On, Minds On" is our philosophy, and students find a Frosty Drew field study an unforgettable experience.
We offer nine field studies that approach scientific concepts in life science, earth and space science, physical science, and math in a fun way. Our field studies address Rhode Island GSEs/GLEs and Connecticut's Common Core of Learning/GLEs and can be adapted to specific curriculum needs.
For descriptions of our field studies or to download a brochure, letter, and additional details. Please visit our Field Studies page.
If you, or a teacher you know, might find this a good field trip, for a reasonable fee, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at fieldstudies@frostydrew.org or call our main number, 401.364.9508, and we will get back to you. Introducing the nature or the sky to a young person is a beautiful way to show how science is a natural, viable part of life.


The Frosty Drew Nature Center is dedicated to environmental stewardship and delivering environmental education to people of all ages. The staff is committed to fostering an appreciation of, respect for, and connectedness with the natural world.
