Social & Science Grade 10-11 CIE Field Trip to Jakarta & Bandung October 3-7, 2017
Field trips are recognized as important tool in learning; a shared social experience that provides the opportunity for students to be exposed and explore novel things beyond the borders of the classroom. A Social-Science field trip was held on October 3-7 2017 in Jakarta and Bandung. The purpose of this trip is to get more knowledge about Geography, Sociology, and Sciences beyond the books, as the students will be able to study and enjoy the nature and cultures of Indonesia at the same time. This will also provide opportunity to have direct learning about physical and human environment of Indonesia, as well as diversity of Indonesian cultures, flora and fauna.
Grade 10 and 11 social and science classes trip to Jakarta-Bandung was a fun filled educational trip. We visited the beautiful Indonesia miniature park (Taman mini Indonesia Indah).
We had experienced the earthquake simulation room at Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi , dan Geofisika (BMKG) the place were all information about weather forecast, climate, air quality, and earthquake are studied.
Had a hands-on feel of the Braille map for the blinds and viewed Earth on a 3D form at Badan Informasi Geospasial, a national agency that is responsible for Indonesian geospatial information. Hiked to the edge of the volcano crater and viewed the hot water spring and boiling mud up close at Tangkuban Parahu. We saw the gigantic telescope with a 60cm diameter and 10.7 m focal length use to observe stars, moon’s craters, planets, comets and other heavenly bodies at Bosscha Observatory.
We had the chance of adrenaline rush from flying like a bird, with the flying-fox challenges at Bandung treetop Adventure Park. We also explored the geological museum with around 6 000 displayed of fossils and life size dinosaur replicas, intermingled with some real fossils of giant land turtles, hippo's and other creatures. Lunch on the floating market, and experience being a cowboy and cowgirl at “De Ranch” in Lembang. Learned and experienced playing Angklung and witnessed the amazing dance and musical presentation at the Udjo's house of Angklung. Last but not the least, we explored the Ragunan zoo for primates such as gorillas, chimpanzees, white apes, and gibbons.
