Koli Landscape

Activities of the learning module ”Koli Landscape” are primarily designed for two age groups: from 5th to 6th grade and 9th grade. Pupils learn about landscapes, and how landscapes form and change through geological processes and human actions.

The module forms a learning process which consists of several tasks (activities). First, there are orientation exercises to be done at school before visiting Koli. These are followed by a lot of exercises to be carried out during a guided study trip at Koli, after which, the learning process continues at school. (The activities develop pupils’ thinking and problem solving skills. Instruction relies on an investigative, problem centred approach.)

Duration: 3 hours (3-6 grades, 10 pupils/guide), 5 hours (7-9 grades, 15 pupils/guide). Price: 3 hour guided tour 9 euros/pupil, 5 hour guided tour 10 euros/pupil.
