Organizing a successful field trip involves planning, conducting the trip, and evaluating its impact. Teachers play an important role by supervising students and supplementing their learning during the excursion. Field trips offer advantages like enriching lessons and breaking up classroom routines, but also have limitations such as costing money and requiring planning.
