Abstract
This investigation was conducted to determine the use of outdoor resources in the teaching of natural science in secondary schools and to obtain suggestions from biology, earth science, and environmental science teachers for increasing and improving the use of outdoor resources. A random sample of teachers in these fields was surveyed. The study showed that about 16 percent of the classes do not study science outdoors and the majority of the classes use outdoor resources fewer than three times during the school year. Financing travel and large class size are the main impediments to outdoor natural science.
