One of the less known, but very attractive form of educational work in which you can use a number of activating methods in connection with information technology resources are complex scientific excursions or field trips. Unusual combination of outdoor activities not only with science education in connection with the use of mobile electronic devices - such as GPS navigation, video, tablets etc., set aim to improve pupils' motivation as well as the whole effectiveness of science education.
For practical application and usability of complex scientific excursions is necessary to identify suitable outdoor locations. In this regard we have proved a very particular type of regional field trips according to the natural trails to which we have prepared a variety of materials and electronic documents.
We also created worksheets for pupils, where the solution requires the use of electronics and didactic technique. Some examples of tasks and documents from worksheets will be presented in the full text.
To identify the interest of teachers in this form of educational work and usability of our materials we have carried out questionnaire survey among science teachers from secondary schools in 2006 and 2010 to 2011. We have chosen from the results of questionnaire surveys some notable facts and trends relating to such interest in science or outdoor locations, institutions or firms suitable for school field trips.
We also evaluated used equipment, learning materials and modern technique for excursions and the best ideas, materials and methodology for science focused outdoor activities. The well didactically prepared regional field trips folloving the natural trails with complex scientific specialization and with using the possibilities of modern electronics devices, in addition focused on chemistry can become one of the important tools of science and environmental education and enlightenment both at home and abroad.
