Detailed Syllabus for Geology, 3rd Year of the New Secondary
- 12 pages, dated 2010, in four columns: themes, competencies, content and suggested activities.
- Opens with a methodology theme on scientific communication and problem solving, including an experimental protocol and rock analysis at the microscope.
- Earth structure and chemical composition, the lithosphere and plate tectonics are the first earth-science themes.
- Suggested activities include analog experiments on seismic waves and study of outcrops.
- Later themes cover deformations, geological maps, submarine reliefs and irrigation.
- Human action, including urbanization, closes the program.
The program is laid out in four columns: themes, competencies, content and suggested teaching and learning activities. It starts with a methodology theme on scientific communication and problem solving, in which pupils compare scientific communications, build an argumentative text, draw up an experimental protocol and analyze rock samples by eye and under the microscope. The earth-science themes follow, beginning with the structure and chemical composition of the Earth, the lithosphere and plate tectonics, and divergence and related phenomena, with activities such as analog experiments on seismic wave reflection and refraction and study of outcrops. Later items cover deformations, relief and geological maps, submarine reliefs, irrigation and the action of humans, including urbanization. The document runs 12 pages and is dated 2010.
