Popis:	This chapter focuses on the edutainment value of field trips to industrial establishments as a means of popularising science to students. It traces the importance of field trips as a teaching pedagogy for active learning to bridge the gap between science lessons in the classroom and science in the real world. By means of an exemplar of a successful field trip to Jurong Island (Singapore’s chemical hub), the usefulness of field trips to industrial establishments in the fostering of scientific literacy for twenty-first century’s teaching and learning is highlighted.
