They focus on geological and cultural heritage, and these tours give the pupils opportunities to explore while they learn and at the same time stimulate all their senses. The Geopark also offers pre and post field work on request.
GeoVR with tasks
GeoVr is a brand new reality concept which allows us to explore the Earth’s geological history through photos, illustrations, sounds, technology and interactivity. The pupils will be able to travel to countries and continents far away, and to explore different landscapes and cultures with all senses activated.
Magma Geopark has developed tasks for the pupils that are connected to the travels in GeoVR. These can also be adjusted if schools wants a specific subject or natural curriculum goal highlighted. https://youtu.be/Zds5Mf7qiOQ
TeachOut – the ESTEAM app
TeachOut is an application developed for teachers basically to use as a tool to get the pupils into the outdoor classroom. When teachers have been trained and been given a licence they can use TeachOut in all subjects and in all curricula. In Magma we can provide outdoor classroom teaching using the TeachOut app with pupils, focusing on natural science and social science curriculum.
TeachOut take advantage of new technologies and provide opportunities to use GPS and other interactive features to provide motivating and evolving tasks for pupils. Connecting Geoparks localities to the curricula goals the app increase the interest of the kids in natural science and support teachers in the teaching-learning process.
Tasks connected to the timeline in our office
In our office we have a timeline illustrating the time lapse from the origins of our planet 4,6 billion years ago and up until now with special focus on the local geological processes. We have developed a set of tasks and questions for pupils to immerse themselves into the exciting history of the Earth.
Tasks connected to the thin grindings of rocks in our office
Using a microscope the students can study thin grindings of rocks in our office. They will also get the opportunity to compare the samples and other rocks, and get tasks connected to the grindings.
