      Conclusion
      Educational fieldtrips are far from new teachers have for years because they enable student to experience the real physical world. Given their potential for affecting achievement, the topic of fieldtrip has been the focus of many research studies (Hofstein, 2014), (Baker,2011) and Teselowski, (201)
          When teaching a course like biology, that focuses on environment science it is a logical extension to use the outdoor as a classroom because the discipline is field- oriented by definition.
