The article describes the history of school expeditions organized and conducted by the MANLab laboratory of the National Centre “Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine” from 2013 to 2023. Over this decade, approximately 20 expeditions were carried out in various regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv, Zakarpattia, Lviv, Volyn, Sumy, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Kirovohrad regions, and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The methodological approach of MANLab expeditions consists of three stages: preparatory, main, and final. During the preparatory stage, students, together with teachers, select the research object within their locality, conduct a preliminary study of literary sources, and formulate scientific questions. The main stage includes field trips where students, under the guidance of MANLab scientists, conduct field research, collect samples and data, learn scientific research methods, and develop teamwork, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication skills. The final stage involves the preparation and holding of a student scientific conference, where students present the results of their research in the form of reports and presentations. A distinctive feature of MANLab’s work is the application of ontological data processing, which allows for the systematization and structuring of the obtained information. All data are entered into developed templates for creating ontologies, significantly enhancing the efficiency of working with large volumes of information and minimizing the risk of “information clutter”. The use of the “Alternative” module allows integrating ontological data with geographic information systems (GIS), ensuring data visualization and the creation of interactive maps that aid in further analysis and decisionmaking. Thus, MANLab’s experience in conducting educational expeditions and utilizing ontological data processing promotes the development of students’ scientific potential, their research capabilities, and skills in working with modern information technologies.
