%X Informal learning environments which assist science education and complete the education at schools are very efficient especially on primary school students¡¯ gaining cognitive, emotional and psychomotor behaviors. In addition, students also improve their social skills by carrying out oral communication in these places. A new model is presented in this study to reduce the workload of teachers in schools which organize tours to newly-opened Energy Park in Ankara and to provide a chance to plan the tour in such a way as to provide a source for them. Preparation of new models for the other informal learning environments like this one will assist attaining the education goals of these locations.
