We shouldn't abbuse of magistral classes, but sometimes we need them

Gymkhana in Benamahoma

We are five teachers in our bilingual group: one of Natural Sciences, another one for Arts and Crafts, the language assistant, the bilingual coordinator (she is an English Teacher), and I, as a maths teacher. A social sciences teacher is supposed to be with us, but finally, we still don't have any.

However, last year, when we were preparing some materials and activities for this course, we used to work in the integrated curriculum, chosing one unit of social sciences and trying to prepare activities in our subjects related with that social sciences unit.

For the first term in ESO 2nd Course, we prepare an excursion to Benamahoma, related with the unit about Arabic Age in Spain. We prepare a Gymkhana in Benamahoma with several quizes related with maths, natural sciences or Arts and Crafts, and, later, we walked the path from Benamahoma to El Bosque along the river, searching some species between such biodiversity.

Here are some of the files related with this activity.
