This activity introduces children to the growth process of oyster mushrooms and increases their awareness of environmental and sustainability issues. It is also an interesting teaching and learning process that motivates students to actively participate in learning through various techniques, such as an outing class. The outing class activity focused on enriching the knowledge of SDIT Qurrota A'yun students in oyster mushroom cultivation science at the greenhouse of the biology department at FMIPA UNCEN. The activity took place from February to May of 2025. Fifty fifth-grade students attended the Outing Class.
