Cultural heritage includes both tangible and intangible culture. Key concepts related to cultural heritage are explained in this paper. The aim of this paper is to explore and present the rich cultural heritage of Turopolje, in the context of the achievement of learning outcomes in Science classes. The geographical location of Turopolje, as well as its geographical features and historical development are discussed in the paper. Cultural heritage of Turopolje, which includes intangible culture, cultural and historical sites and cultural institutions, testifies to the importance of human presence in this area. The examples of intangible culture are: the ceremonial military unit of Turopolje (Turopoljski banderij), the dialect of Turopolje, the Saint George's Day processions and the Turopolje Carnival. Cultural and historical sites include the Old Town Lukavec, the Gate of Krč and a number of sacral buildings and manors. There are also several important cultural institutions in the area, for instance the Museum of Turopolje and Open University of Velika Gorica. The learning outcomes related to cultural heritage and its protection are taken from the National Curriculum. This paper contains suggestions on how to achieve the learning outcomes set out by the National Curriculum through extracurricular activities in Turopolje. This paper also includes a written lesson plan for a one-day extracurricular class entitled Cultural Heritage of my Homeland (Turopolje), and a suggestion on how to integrate other subjects, such as Croatian, Art and Music into this project.
