LESSON OF SURROUNDING WORLD LEARNING ‘NATURAL RESOURCES IN LITHUANIA’: DISCOVERIES AND CHALLENGES FACED BY SCHOOL STUDENTS

The article presents analysis and results of educational activities organised in the 3rd form. The 3rd formers, who participated in research, learned about natural resources in Lithuania. The educational activity consisted of three parts: 1) a trip to the museum and guide’s presentation about natural resources found in Lithuania; 2) questionnaire to participants of the excursion and analysis of answers; 3) presentation of the results of the questionnaire to school learners and research works; 4) preparation of a slide presentation and sending the material to the participants of the educational activities and their parents. The research revealed that a new educational space and joining of a new person into joint activities had a positive effect on the learners. Later assessment of school students' knowledge and abilities using a test revealed that children had successfully assimilated this theme.
