Science Trips for Schools

Why arrange a school science trip?

1. Show pupils the importance of science

Trips can be specifically designed to bring your curriculum to life and show students the importance of science in the ‘real world’.

Whether it's learning more about geothermal power and how it's being used in Iceland to provide sustainable energy, to discovering how we can use the sun’s rays to clean water at the German Aerospace Center in Cologne, a science school trip offers your students the chance to see how scientists are working to create a brighter, cleaner future for our environment.

Your students will return home after an enriching learning experience, resulting in a greater appreciation of the subject. And who knows, perhaps you’ll have inspired the scientists of the future!

2. Get pupils excited about science

Whether it’s the exploration of the solar system or the human body, science trips offer plenty of opportunities to get your students excited about one of the most important STEM subjects.

All our destinations offer a variety of interactive visits and attractions that will show your students just how exciting science can be.

3. Enjoy the trip as much as your students

Originally founded by former teachers, and with many former teachers still among us, we understand the value of getting out of the classroom.

Your trip will be completely tailor-made, to ensure that it meets your specific requirements and learning objectives. And we’ll be on hand throughout the process to answer any questions you have.

In fact, we’ll be with you every step of the way, from now until you return home at the end of your trip. While abroad, you’ll be able to reach us with just one phone call, at any time of the day or night. And, with this comprehensive level of support, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy experiencing science in action as much as your students.

Science trip ideas

We offer a wide range of school science trips abroad and in the UK. If you’re struggling to decide where to go, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our experienced education team can provide you with any further information or advice you require. For inspiration, here are some ideas:

Paris

The world’s largest science museum, the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, is a must-visit in Paris. Students will learn about a range of environmental and technological themes. To top it off, a visit to the Palais de la Découverte will help them to better understand the role that science has played in the development of civilisation.

Geneva

Geneva is one of our most popular destinations because it offers groups the opportunity to visit the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, CERN. Here, your students will see how scientists are working to answer some of the biggest questions about our universe.

Orlando

For the more adventurous, why not try something a little further afield, such as Orlando and the Kennedy Space Center? On this educational trip your pupils can learn about the history of American spaceflight, ‘train’ to be an astronaut in their interactive exhibits, and, if you’re lucky, perhaps even view a shuttle launch.

Brussels

If you want to learn about space travel but don’t have the time or budget to go all the way to Florida, Brussels offers the chance to visit the Euro Space Centre. And in Brussels, at Living Tomorrow, they’ll see how we could be living in the future, thanks to the work that scientists are doing right now!

Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, you can visit the Corpus Museum, to take a journey through the human body, discover how it works, and why eating healthily and exercising are so important. Amsterdam is also the perfect base from which to explore Space Expo, the European Space Agency’s visitor centre.
