learning materials in order to give

change in attitudes are rooted on concrete
and rich experiences. Fieldtrips are
opportunities for rich and memorable
experiences which are fundamental to
learning that lasts.

classroom. The real-world connection is more
work but the benefits of broadening teaching
beyond textbooks far outweigh the little bit of
time takes from a teacher’s schedule.

meant only for children. It is for adults also. It is
not only meant for the social science subjects. It
is for all other subjects as well.

attitudes and insights. The field trip
