PRIVATE BURSA BİLFEN ANATOLIAN AND SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL – FIELD AND MUSEUM TRIP

As part of the Geography and Physics curriculum, our school organized an educational trip to help students connect their academic learning with real-life experiences. The aim of the trip was to examine natural and human geographical elements as well as scientific processes on site through field studies and museum visits.
Within the scope of the program, students had the opportunity to observe natural processes that shape landforms through fieldwork at Mezitler Gorge. Around the Porsuk River, the location and functions of settlements were evaluated in terms of geographical factors. Visits to the Odunpazarı Houses and the ETİ Archaeology Museum enabled students to explore traditional Turkish architecture, cultural heritage, and historical continuity firsthand.
To support learning outcomes in Physics, the Wax Museum highlighted the contributions of scientists to the field of physics, while observations on light, color, reflection, and the role of physics in art were conducted at the Odunpazarı Modern Museum. At the Sabancı Space House and Sazova Science, Art, and Culture Park, topics such as space, electromagnetic waves, energy, force, and motion were addressed through experiential learning.
This educational trip demonstrated clear improvements in students’ scientific observation, analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and their ability to make interdisciplinary connections. Both informative and engaging, the trip once again emphasized the importance of out-of-class learning environments in education.
