GRAINES d’EXPLORATEURSA National Experiment in Research/Education collaboration
The objectives of « Graines d’Explorateurs » Capitalize on the experience of accompanying the SANTO scientific expedition Participate in education for citizenship through the issues of biodiversity study Develop scientific literacy and provide an appetite for science among secondary students Translate accompanying pedagogical approach in terms of engineering and expertise to enable similar projects
The Educationaltoolsproposed by the INRP Last online scientific resources, teaching and learning on the website http://acces.inrp.fr/evolution/graines - A forum for teachers to have quick answers to their scientific and pedagogical questions- methodological and practical documents- Library resources Ready-to-use educational kits containing the materials necessary for conducting local scientific expedition : digital camera, GPS ... Monitoring and supporting the development of projects: quarterly meetings, organization of day reportTraining of teachers on the use of innovative tools in their teaching practices (use of videoconferencing ...)
Examples of organization of a local scientific expedition 1. Study the biodiversity of a river: : LA RIZE 11 year-old pupils (24) 36 hours per year (1hour/week) 2. Biospeleology expedition /Massif DORVAN 16 year-old pupils(2 students : optional course) 36 hours per year (2 hours/week)
Back in the classroom: preparation of expedition Design an expedition book Preparation of tools Roles, documentation, seeking of partners Scientists ...
Second field trip: Workshop activities Study of the fauna of the mud Study characteristics natural watercourse Study of the fauna and flora the edge of the watercourse
Year 2008-09 : « Graines de Chercheurs »(optional course) One year during which the pupils: Realize a website and an Hyperpaysage with their data Design scientific poster Report their result : « Exposciences » Lyon June 2009
2nd example : Biospeleology expedition /Massif DORVAN ( Torcieu, Ain)
Problem and hypothesis Explaining that many species groundwater are depigmented? Depigmented Diploure (length 3 mm) Hypothesis: loss of pigmentation is a common evolutionary event that occurred repeatedly, independently in many lineages
Selection of collectedspecies Collembole 1 Coléoptère Diplopode 1 Niphargus Campodé Lenght 15 mm approx Lenght 15 mm approx Lenght 15 mm approx Lenght 2 mm approx Araignée Meta Pseudoscorpion Scoliopteryx libatrix Lenght 25 mm approx Lenght 2 mm approx Lenght 20 mm approx
Use of data : morphological observations ExampleNiphargus 2 pairs of antennas Appendages « crossed » 7 pairs of legs
Conclusion Pigmented body : + - Niphargus Depigmented body : - Gammarus + CRUSTACES Evolutionary event Cloporte + Of loss of pigmentation Collembole 1 - COLLEMBOLES Collembole 2 + ANTENNATES HEXAPODES Campodé - Coléoptère + INSECTES + Scoliopteryx ARTHROPODES + Diplopode 1 DIPLOPODES Diplopode 2 + MYRIAPODES Chilopode + Amblypyge + + CHELICERATES Araignée + Pseudoscorpion
National Day of restitution projects: The Meeting of pupils –National Museum of National History/ PARIS on June 4th 2009 • Presentation of projects by students (support: slideshow + "scientific“poster) Delivrance of a “Grainesd’Explorateurs”degree
