Salts: solubility, solutions, precipitation, crystallization • Relation with the territory: building material, art • Environment and preservation: parks • A little about history of earth science Flora and fauna, adaptation of species And, of course: geologyat its best ! An outstanding example of geological significace

  4. Interdisciplinary paths • Technical education in first grade secondary schools: use of gypsum in the past and today • Artin both first and second grades seconadary schools: achitectural features of buildings, history of art • History: the medioeval city
