Tuesdays in the Oceanogràfic (2011-2012)

CAC — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:45:00 +0100

In its previous seven editions, the topics have ranged from biodiversity (from a global point of view and the particular case of sharks, an especially threatened zoological group), to ocean dynamics, fisheries and environmental impacts, as well as one-off exhibitions on the polar seas and their surroundings, the relationship between the oceans and climate change, the deep sea and worldwide oceanic exploration.

For the next edition, we have chosen different hot points of the planet’s biodiversity, that will be developed over ten sessions, points which represent a climax of endemic biodiversity (or with certain endemic species that lend character to the surroundings), still not directly affected by human activity, as possible points that have experienced a favourable progress as a consequence of the implementation of specific conservation and protection actions. The idea is to share different proposals that are in use today in order to establish policies and plan specific conservation strategies for a particular domain (the ocean) with very limited protected areas.

Registration at the user's area.

COURSE 'HOW TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS THROUGH ATTRACTIVE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES'

CAC — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 02:00:00 +0200

This initiative aimed at secondary school teachers. The main objective of the course ‘How to Motivate Students Through Attractive Scientific Activities’, is to share a space for reflection, discussion, presentation and exchange teaching and learning experiences from the perspective of an entertaining, creative and fun science.

This is to overcome the difficulties that teachers face daily in the teaching and learning of science and also due to the increasingly poor motivation and lack of interest of students to study science.
