A park is a place for relaxation and enjoying in nature. However, it is also a place where plenty can be learnt. Having classes in a park plays an essential role in the students' pshycophysical development. The reason for choosing park as a learning place for the topic of the diploma paper is the fact that students have lower grades in Science and Social studies than other school subjects. They have difficulty with recognizing and perceiveing certain subject matter. The teaching is mostly traditional, with students just sitting and listening, which furthermore causes problems with their discipline. Planning and instructing research classes is very demanding so teachers rarely conduct it. However, it is important for students to learn in natural surroundings because that way they are learning through their own exprience, using realia and including all of their senses. The purpose of this research was to prove that learning and studying Science and Social studies is more successful when it takes place outdoors, in natural surroundings, since the students are in direct contact with nature. The paper also shows that students notice natural phenomena and make their own conclusions more easily, they are more satisfied with the classes and participate more actively in the teaching/learning process. Thus, students learn how to live in accordance with nature and realize the significance of its protection. For the purpose of the diploma paper, an outdoors class was held in a park, involving third-grade students. The research has shown that the students' knowledge of the subject matter was acquired more easily, it was of higher quality and it had more potential to be stored in long-term memory. Moreover, students were satisfied with the learning process.
