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.

A FLEXIBLE AND PROGRESSIVE TEACHING RESOURCE

Primary Education:
At this stage, activities focus on discovery through observation and manipulation of real or representative materials. Students' natural curiosity is stimulated and active learning is encouraged through visual, tactile and playful dynamics. The contents are presented in a simple and visual way, facilitating the understanding of basic concepts of the natural environment or geological time.
Inclusion and accessibility:
Bioma Boxes are also used with groups of people with special educational needs, adapting the pace and methodological approaches to ensure active, inclusive and enriching participation.
