CHEMICAL EDUCATION OUTSIDE A CLASSROOM – STEP BY STEP

Abstract

Typically, chemistry lessons unlike e.g. biology classes or environmental education are conducted solely within the four walls of the classroom or the chemistry lab. The outdoor activities are usually more difficult for a teacher to conduct compared to classes performed at school laboratory. Many difficulties can be avoid by detailed preparations. The step-by-step approach is presented. Limitations and profits of field trips are discussed also. Key words: chemistry education, outdoor education, field trip.
