Khanh Chi (a student from Huynh Khuong Ninh Secondary School) shared: "Going on field trips helps us learn more about things that the school doesn't teach, and we also learn skills like grinding stones and using microscopes. After the field trip, I will share this new knowledge with my classmates."

"I found the students very happy to participate and view the rocks through the microscope; they even drew the colors when they saw the flowers in the rocks.
