Civil Engineering High School Rijeka conducted a one-day field trip to Ljubljana and a visit to the ”House of Experiments”. The trip took place on the 12th March 2024 and was attended by sophomore high school students who were interested in upgrading their knowledge about certain areas of physics.
This field trip was organized by our physics teacher, as it helps students understand the laws of physics we learn about in school. We believe educational trips like this increase learning outcomes as well as have a positive impact on the student’s perception of the learning experience.
The trip started with touring and learning about the capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana, where we explored the beautiful centre of the city and visited Pipers’ Tower and the Viewing tower. Since the view from the towers truly is picturesque, we all took a moment just to stop and enjoy in it. Then we went to the “House of Experiments”, toured it and attended interesting physics presentations on gas laws.
The main objective of this educational tour was to allow students to explore physics in a fun and interesting way for learning purposes. It can be concluded that the trip was successful and we can say that our objective was achieved. All of us learned something new and beneficial but most importantly we all had fun and got to socialize with our classmates which strengthens our friendships.
