A field trip is an educational outing where students or participants travel to a location outside of the classroom or regular learning environment to gain hands-on experience or observe something related to their studies. Field trips provide an opportunity for individuals to engage with real-world applications of what they have learned, such as visiting museums, historical sites, nature reserves, or factories. These trips enhance learning by offering a practical, often interactive way to explore topics in greater depth and make connections between theory and practice.
