Images On The Wall
I would photograph in the field. Before I returned to the classroom, I would work the images and print a very large scenic or worksite with interesting background. These poster sized prints were framed and hung.
My students in Chemistry and Physics would ask about the images. This would allow me to "digress" for abit of time into an "adlib" session on "science is not just done in the lab or classroom".
Some of the work was turned into "slide shows" on "Hydrology" in Iceland and Inner Mongolia and another one on "Archeology" in Canada and Mauritius. The former was presented to history classes in the school.
Two other projects provided other intersting stories about foreign travel and different cultures and languages. Sometimes you have to leave the book and go into the world.
