You are right: if the students can't imagine/ visualize what we are teaching them at a certain moment they find it hard to learn. Learning can't take place in an empty space, a void. Imagination- depends on one's experience so it is anchored in reality; field trips are steppingstones on which imagination can re/create a reality. They can enrich students' experience and help them understand, sometimes, abstract things.
