When the field becomes an educational tool

A video produced by Aix-Marseille University plunges into the heart of a field day like no other, dedicated to karstic hydrogeology and the teaching of Life and Earth Sciences.

Students from Master 1 MEEF SVT and Bio-geosciences (INSPE Marseille) explored the underground environment to gain a better understanding of the water cycle, karstic flows, landscapes and geological forms, while learning how to lead a caving trip with schoolchildren.

 Divided into half-groups, they took part in two workshops combining field observations, in situ measurements, geological map reading and discussions on teaching practices and living together.
 

The outing was supervised by Bruno Arfib (AMU, CEREGE), Solenne Albertini-Mattei (AMU, INSPE) and Philippe Maurel and Thierry Lamarque (SpéléH2O).
