DIRECTIONS AND PARKING
The directions for your bus driver(s) and/or chaperones transporting students to the event are on page 6 of this
document. Parking is FREE for this event. Please read the following instructions carefully for directions and
parking information.
A. There will be a high volume of vehicles entering the parking lots beginning at 7:45AM so please plan your
departure time from school accordingly.
B. Please park in the designated lot according to your vehicle type. All buses will park in Honda Center’s main lot
(LOT 4) and all other vehicles will park in an auxiliary lot (LOT 5) located off of Douglass Road. If your school
is transporting children with disabilities, please contact the Ducks to schedule an alternate plan.
C. It’s going to be a packed arena with over 16,000 in attendance, so we encourage you to place a placard of
your school’s name on the bus window to identify it easily after the event.
THE WORKBOOK AND PLAYGROUND AREA
a. Lessons and Content
This is our most ambitious workbook in the event’s history! The workbook was designed to give students the
experience of building a circuit using a circuit board with low-powered components. The content is broken up into
three sections: origin of Light the Lamp, electricity, and circuit building. We hope your students will enjoy the lessons
in “Light the Lamp!”
 Lesson 1: Think Like an Engineer
 Lesson 2: History of Light the Lamp
 Lesson 3: It’s Electric!
 Lesson 4: The Electric Playground
 Lesson 5: The Starting Line Up
 Lesson 6: Drawing It up
 Lesson 7: Light the Lamp Challenge
1
The workbook was written with the Light the Lamp circuit board and components in mind. If you do not have these
items, you will need to go to the First Flight Field Trip projects page to learn how to make your own circuit board as
well as view the components needed to build the Light the Lamp circuit.
Please note: The Light the Lamp circuit requires safe amounts of electricity from 4 AA batteries. However, please use
caution any time you use electricity. Also, we ask that a teacher/adult is present at all times when students are using
these electrical components. Thanks for your cooperation!
b. Distribution
The workbook is intended to be completed prior to attending the First Flight Field Trip. Please distribute these
workbooks to your students as soon as possible so they can review the material, complete the activities, and
understand the concepts before the event.
c. Classroom (In-Arena) Segment
Students should bring their workbook to the event so they can follow along with the Anaheim Ducks players when
they explain First Flight Field Trip concepts. There will also be “pop-quiz” segments where prizes will be awarded.
Students are selected randomly based on the recommendation of their teachers.
d. Answer Key and Videos
We will send you an email early February with links to view the First Flight Field Trip workbook answer key.
e. Projects Page
Throughout the workbook. Students are directed to go to www.ducksscore.com/projects.html for additional resources
and activities that reinforce the First Flight Field Trip content. You’ll find the following items on this page:
 Light the Lamp Challenge presented by Autodesk
 Light the Lamp Circuit Board Template
 Instructions for a homemade engineering journal
 Printing graph paper
f. Light the Lamp Challenge (Lesson 7)
We’ve partnered with Autodesk once again to present the “Light the Lamp Challenge”. The challenge simply asks
students to build on their new found knowledge of electricity as well as the circuit they built from the instructions in
the workbook. While students can choose a variety of ways to complete this challenge, Autodesk has provided us with
a great project that takes Light the Lamp to a whole another level! Your students will be guided step-by-step to build
a table hockey rink with working lights and buzzer.
Unlike years past, setting up your class is easy after creating an account at Autodesk Project Ignite. Click on the banner
or go to bit.ly/FFFTinfo to be taken to the First Flight event information page where you can watch a getting started
video!

g. Photography

The Ducks will be recording video and taking photographs for content relating to the Ducks S.C.O.R.E.
program. If you believe parents will not agree to the possibility of having their child’s image recorded,
please contact us immediately.
h. Sound
The field trip, with over 16,000 in attendance, will be loud! If you are sensitive to sound, we highly
encourage you to bring ear plugs.
i. Emergencies and Security
 The area outside of section 214 serves as a hub for information and emergency solutions. Please
communicate this to everyone, especially students, attending the event.
 Honda Center is a big place and there’s a possibility that students may get lost in the arena.
Please tell students that if they get lost they SHOULD NOT leave the building at any time or with
anyone they do not know. This includes Ducks or Honda Center employees. Instead, students
should do one of the following:
i.
Seek help from a Honda Center usher, police officer, security officer, or a Ducks employee
wearing a name tag or Ducks identification badge. This employee will escort the child to
their seat/section and as a last resort, to section 214
ii.
Seek assistance at section 214
 Law enforcement and arena security will be present to maintain a safe and fun experience for you
and the students attending the First Flight Field Trip. Your safety is of the utmost importance
here at Honda Center. We will be conducting random bag searches for your safety.
On behalf of the Anaheim Ducks, thank you for participating in the Anaheim Ducks First Flight Field Trip. If you
have any questions or concerns that were not addressed in this letter, please email me right away. On the day of the
field trip, please seek assistance at the fan relations booth outside of section 214. Lastly, let’s have a fun,
educational, and safe field trip experience on February 23, 2016. We’re excited to host you and your students here at
Honda Center!
