Summary:
Caves are areas of remarkable interest from an ethnological and
anthropological, as well as an environmental and aesthetic point of view. They
may attract the attention of students and become a stimular that will
familiarize them with the teaching theory of chemistry. Cave studies give them
the opportunity to experience the “unknown world" such as the speleothems and
their impressive decor, the cave-dweller organisms and various traces of the
past human presence.
Cave research helps students to understand that they are a self-replenishing
and fragile ecosystem in danger from any human intervention and interference.
It also urges students to appreciate the value of their closed ecosystem and
understand the need to preserve and protect them. Chemistry can answer
questions such as, how caves were created, how was the inner formation drafted,
which organisms and how have survived, which are the different types of caves
that exist, what are the “risks” the caves do have, is there any radioactivity,
what measures of protection have to be taken. Chemistry is not just a set of
theory, definitions, formulas and processes, but also a socially interactive
and progressive multidisciplinary science that contributes to the prosperity
and development of humanity, and promotes values and attitudes in life.
The students are not only asked, in an exploratory way, to study the process
of cave formation, but also to correlate their knowledge both within schools in
chemistry science and also cross curricular thematic approach with other
sciences, in order to recognize chemistry as a “bridge” to the evolution of
human kind and understand that Nature "makes" Chemistry.
Having in mind all the considerations mentioned above as an additional motive,
we designed and implemented an educational proposal that overcomed the typical
approach of science in school, by gradually leading to a more realistic
experience with in situ activities and innovative didactic interventions,
avoiding all boring teaching tacts, and believing that we created an alive
observatory-laboratory in place of the typical knowledge of chemistry.
