Science School Trips

Study Physics, Chemisty or Biology outside the classroom

Science can sometimes be a school subject that fails to inspire or engage pupils, perhaps because it is seen as technically difficult. That is a real shame because science has to be one of the most interesting subjects on the school curriculum - from experiments with the colour spectrum and water cycles at Key Stage 1, to microorganims and sports science at Key Stage 4. The possibilities for study are almost limitless and the opportunities to take inspiring and memorable science school trips abundant.

Often, scientific ideas are quite complicated to fully understand, especially for children at primary level, so practical work is essential. A report issued by the Association for Science Education concluded that outdoor learning was necessary when teaching science. Giving pupils the ability to directly link first hand experience with classroom ideas will enable pupils at any key stage to get the most from the subject.

Fortunately there are a wide range of excellent science school trip venues that will help your pupils develop a love of science, from the traditional, such as wildlife centres promoting biodiversity, and transport museums who chart the historical development of scientific achievement, to the more modern dedicated science centres who offer high tech, interactive classroom style learning. Whether your science topic is Life processes and living things, investigation, materials and properties, physical properties, Earth and space or famous inventors. We can help with inspiration.
