Practical training is very important the modern society. Therefore it is recommended to study Natural Science in different environments through observing, exploring, comparing, experimenting and verifying one’s own hypotheses, etc. These activities can be realized not only in the traditional classroom, but outside class as well. Educational tourism is a educa-tional activity which is implemented through excursions, tours or trips, and helps to acquire knowledge and skills. One of the most popular forms of educational tourism is the education-al excursion, whose importance in education is emphasised in general education programs. In pursuance of reasoning for the potential of educational tourism in Natural Science education, a research was carried out. The subject of the research was educational excursions in the national and regional parks of Lithuania. The aim of the research was to identify the educational activities in the regional and national parks of Lithuania and to establish the are-as of Natural Science education in which the aforementioned activities could be applied. In total, 92 educational excursions, which develop skills in Natural Science education, were ana-lyzed. The results of the research suggest that not all the national and regional parks in Lithu-ania have designed educational excursions and defined specific educational activities. The largest choice of educational excursions is in the national parks of Aukštaitija and Dzūkija, and in the regional park of Kurtuvėnai. The educational excursions implemented mainly fo-cus on Natural Science and Biology subjects, with little emphasis on Physics. In terms of the Natural Science education areas, the largest number of the educational excursions are de-signed for Continuity and Diversity of Life and Organism and Environment; Biosphere and Man; however, only a few focus on Movement and Cognition of Force and Energy and Cog-nition of Physical Processes. The most popular activities offered by the educational excur-sions are discovering, observing, identifying and exploring. Key words: educational tourism, natural science education, educational excursion, regional and national parks of Lithuania.

Natural Science Education

Beginning of the 21st century - the time of rapid changes. In 2009-2010 in Russian Education has been approved new federal state educational standards for elementary and general education. The basis of the Standard is a systemic-activity approach. The main need is to develop content and technology of education, determine the ways and means to achieve the level of personal and cognitive development of students. Systemic-activity approach as a methodological principle determines the need to study the content of any school subject as a system. Especially the great importance realization of systemic-activity approach gets into natural science education. Realization of systemic-activity approach, which provides a guaranteed achievement of planned results, is possible in applying various educational tech-nologies in science education. The scientific-methodical journal “Natural Science Education” invites the scientists and teachers to take part in discussion of problems of natural science education. Key words: educational standard, systemic-activity approach, content and technology of education, educational technologies.

Interdisciplinary Integration

The basis of each subject is a system of interrelated scientific concepts, from which the quality of the students' knowledge and understanding of the subject matter depends. It is not possible to achieve a level of understanding in natural science education if learning was not systematic. The content of many natural science concepts is so complex that it is impossible to disclose it in one lesson or even in one topic. The content of the concept is disclosed gradually, in parts, by establishing relationships with other concepts, linking them to a system of scientific concepts. Such concepts are being developed throughout the learning period. In this way, a holistic concept of the world is formed. In order to form a system of natural science concepts, it is necessary to make appropriate usage of internal and interdisciplinary integration, to analyse common points of interaction. The principles of systematization and integration of knowledge must be applied. For this purpose, it is appropriate to apply the graph-tree method. This article deals with a systematic integration of the content of "movement" concept as one of the approaches to comprehensive natural science education. The graph-tree method is used to reveal the integrity of “movement” concept in basic education. The concept of movement is chosen as one of the most important concepts of science, differently known and understood by all students. Movement in biological, chemical or physical processes at different levels and in different aspects is analysed by learners at all stages of general education. Keywords: natural science education, internal and interdisciplinary integration, graph tree method, movement.

Educational Conditions

The article defines the fact that educational conditions analyzed by the author are in close correlation and set up a unity which is characterized by availability of integrated components to secure the availability of specialists to the professional service. They ensure the potential use of natural sciences by optimization of educational forms, methods and technologies. The complex of measures of selection of educational conditions for formation of professional competences of physical therapy specialists which is proposed by the author includes: formation of value attitude of specialists to be toward their specialty; use of different methods and forms, a system of situational tasks and practical training in process of natural science education; settlement of subject-subject correlation in process of natural science education. As a result of our research, the essence of the concept “educational conditions” is revealed and educational conditions of formation of professional competences of physical therapy specialists in process of natural science education are separated and substantiated. It was proved by the author that the educational conditions of formation of professional competences of physical therapy specialists in process of natural science education are a system of opportunities, technologies and facilities of organization of educational process which enable the effectiveness of formation of professional competences of specialists.

The first issue of this year's journal "Gamtamokslinis ugdymas" is before your eyes. It is gratifying that with the appearance of each issue, the number of readers increases. This really testifies to a kind of science education movement. Not so long ago, on April 20–21, the 13th National Scientific-Practical Conference “Natural Science Education in a General Education School” took place in Kaunas. During the conference, ideas, opinions, experiences and contacts were exchanged. Most importantly, those interested in science education have the opportunity to communicate, pass on their experience to others and learn from others. We hope that this journal will find its place and continue the analysis of NSE problems discussed at the conference.

Natural Science Education

Natural Science Education improvement remains one of the most important current challenges in education system. In general, 21st century raises new challenges for Natural science, Mathematics, Technology teachers. Young generation interest in Natural Sciences and Technology is poor. It is predicted that in not so far future, a shortage of qualified specialists will be felt in this sphere. It is obvious, that Natural science and Technology education basics is being formed in general education school. How to strengthen the pupils’ Natural science and Technology learning motivation, to increase their interest? This is one of the most important questions of today’s education. On the other hand, improvement has to be carried out in different directions. Not only motivation strengthening is important, but also creating proper educational environments (spoken here about green environment, so-called outdoor didactics, teacher competence and so on). Extra didactic material preparation for teachers becomes an urgent question. It is very important to help teachers prepare for practical work lessons and to give them, using ordinary and digital devices for the performance of practical-experimental works. In this analysis, a didactic scenario is presented realising an interdisciplinary – integral teaching/learning. The investigated topic is “Juice properties”. Natural sciences and Mathematics teachers’ collaboration possibilities are revealed. Key words: interdisciplinary relations, natural science education, titration, vitamin C.
