During the internship, students consolidate their theoretical knowledge acquired during lectures and laboratory classes. During field practice, students study plants and animals in their natural habitat and acquire practical skills necessary for field observations and scientific research, become familiar with representatives of various groups of plants and invertebrates living in various ecological conditions, and acquire skills in identifying and recognizing these objects in nature. Acquisition of observation skills in natural and laboratory conditions, the ability to correctly collect and design field material necessary for students for scientific research and organizing excursion and naturalistic work at school.
