Abstract :

The issue covers the importance of modern forms of education, especially regarding natural science. Thus one of the most available forms of education, educational trips, is analysed. In the course of those trips pupils ought to be provided with preconsidered natural science exercises, which serve the purpose to better understand the topic and also help to invest their own knowledge and skills, as well as skills of communication and motivation. The relevant changes in politics, economics and social status of the state have brought the need to reconsider the process of education as well as the means of organizing such process. Careful analysis brings the attention of the researcher to: the choice of the forms and methods of education, forms of pupil-teacher communication, peculiarities of pupils‘ communication and cooperation. To conclude the facts and premises of the given issue, the following insights can be made:  Educational trips serve as a modern form of education. They immerse pupils into activity and help them socialize.  Elements of natural science used in the course of such trips help to deepen the theoretical knowledge and skills and also stress the human-environment relation.  When used systematically, elements of natural science strengthen pupils‘ motivation and will to learn.
