Co-curricular activities organized outside the classroom allow students to develop their special talents and creatively express themselves through various forms. For example, participation in science clubs, field trips, involvement in science dramas, social welfare activities, etc.

Field trips for students are like an educational experience that they never could have had in the classroom. Field trips are considered fun, but the children learn as well, whether they realize it or not because they require significant planning and coordination for teachers and administrators to make a great combination of learning and fun together.

  • Interactive Learning: Field trips help students interact with what they are learning. The experience goes beyond reading about a concept; students can see it, manipulate it, or participate in it physically.
  • Field trip encourages interaction and enhances observation skills among children.
  • Entertainment: Field trips provide entertainment for students. They often serve as a powerful motivator for students, stirring up excitement as the trip nears. Breaking away from the routine provides kids with a refresher that might make them more focused back in the classroom.
  • Extension of Classroom Study: Field trips take the book learning from the classroom and extend it to life. Students often question the importance of topics they study in class. Field trips, particularly for older students, can answer the question of how learning can be applied in life.
  • Social Interaction: Field trips place children in a different social environment.  Leaving the classroom for a field trip places the kids in a different social environment. They encounter a new set of adults and possibly other children during the course of the average field trip. These interactions teach them how to behave in different settings.
  • New Experiences: Many children don't get to experience the typical field trip locations with their families. A school trip allows students to experience new venues, promotes process skills through concrete experiences. Field trips may help a child experience a zoo, even if their families have never taken them.

Hence, option D is the least appropriate.
