WHAT ARE BIOMA BOXES?
The Bioma Boxes are educational packages and portable elements designed by the Science Museum of the University of Navarra to enrich school visits throughout the school year. They contain real pieces or replicas of the museum's collection, manipulative materials, guides and resources adapted to different educational levels.
These tools offer an interactive and transversal experience that reinforces learning before, during or after the museum visit. They are also available for occasional use in schools.
