Engaging Learning Experiences in the Real Worlds

At Activ4 School Tours, we offer a range of school science trips that provide students with the opportunity to explore scientific concepts in real-world settings.

These trips are designed to complement the science curriculum, whether your students are studying biology, chemistry, physics, or environmental science. By taking part in immersive field trips, practical workshops, and hands-on experiences, students can deepen their understanding of key scientific principles and see them applied in the world around them. From visiting cutting-edge research facilities to exploring natural habitats and scientific museums, our school science trips bring the subject to life.

Why Choose a School Science Trip with Us?

Our school science trips provide students with the chance to explore the world of science in context, complementing their classroom learning with hands-on experiences. These trips enhance students’ understanding of scientific concepts and demonstrate their real-world applications, reinforcing and deepening their knowledge. Whether your students are learning about ecosystems, chemical reactions, or the laws of physics, our trips are designed to ignite curiosity, foster a love of science, and show students how science is at the heart of everything.

Curriculum-Specific School Science Trips

Our science trips are tailored to different branches of the curriculum, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Each trip is designed to target key curriculum objectives, ensuring that students are not only learning from real-world experiences but also developing the skills and knowledge needed for exams.

Here’s how our trips align with the science curriculum:

Biology: Students will explore ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental science in the field, enhancing their understanding of ecology and conservation. Visits to zoos, aquariums, and nature reserves complement studies on animal behaviour, habitats, and genetics.
Chemistry: For students studying chemistry, we offer trips to chemical laboratories, research facilities, and industrial plants. These trips focus on chemical processes, industrial applications, and laboratory safety, helping students to apply their knowledge of chemical reactions and molecular structures.
Physics: Physics-focused trips allow students to explore the fundamental forces of nature in action, from studying renewable energy sources to exploring forces and motion in technology museums and engineering labs.
Environmental Science: We offer trips to sustainable farms, eco-friendly research projects, and conservation areas, giving students a firsthand look at how science plays a role in sustainability, climate change, and resource management.

Sample Science Trip Itineraries

Biology and Environmental Science Trip to Amsterdam – 3 Days, 2 Nights

Day 1: Arrive in Amsterdam and check into your accommodation. Begin with a guided tour of the Amsterdam Zoo, where students can learn about wildlife conservation, animal behaviour, and biodiversity.
Day 2: Visit the NEMO Science Museum, an interactive museum that explores scientific principles through hands-on exhibits. Focus on sustainability and environmental science, with exhibits on renewable energy, climate change, and recycling.
Day 3: Take a guided tour of Amsterdam’s canals, observing the ecosystem and learning about urban environmental management. Visit a local conservation project to see how the city is addressing sustainability. Return home in the afternoon.

Chemistry and Physics Trip to London – 3 Days, 2 Nights

Day 1: Arrive in London and check into your accommodation. Start the day with a visit to the Science Museum, where students will explore exhibits on chemical reactions, the periodic table, and physics in everyday life. Participate in a hands-on chemistry workshop.
Day 2: Visit Imperial College London, where students can take part in practical chemistry and physics experiments in a university lab. In the afternoon, take a tour of The Royal Institution, learning about the development of modern science and conducting live experiments.
Day 3: Explore The London Eye to understand the physics of rotation, forces, and engineering. Visit The Natural History Museum to learn about the geological processes and earth sciences. Return home in the afternoon.

What Teachers Say

“Thank you for another extremely well-planned trip to a very suitable resort. Your planning makes organising the trip so much easier.”

Gabriella McRill
Mulberry Academy

“Activ4 never fail to impress. Their customer service is excellent and they always do their best to accommodate the needs of our group. Our students had saved for years to make this trip possible, and all the feedback from parents and students has been overwhelmingly positive. The support from the whole Activ4 team—especially our Rep, who was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the week—made a real difference. We’ve already asked for a quote to return to Sestriere in 2027 and wouldn’t change a thing”

Natalie Stockdale
Q3 Academy

“A huge thank you for you and your team for organising such a fantastic trip, the pupils have talked about nothing else for the last 2 days. Secondly, the trip ran so smoothly because of your assistance on the trip. We have now been with Activ4 twice and on both times I have been impressed with the level of service/ attention to detail the Activ4 staff give without being asked. I cannot recommend your company highly enough for customer service. It is also the reason why I am wanting to organise our 2019 trip with you.”
