In order to keep up the tradition initiated in our school by Professor Daniel Jiménez de Cisneros in 1904, we intended to initiate students into field studies, and knowledge of their natural environment. In this work we present a pool of activities related with the study of the natural environment of the Alicante Province (Spain), performed with students from first level of BA. It was conducted by teachers from the Department of Biology and Geology of the "Jorge Juan" High school (Alicante) and other centres, together with other Biologists and Geologists. Our general goal was to achieve a progressive learning and to enhance the interest of students in Science.
This didactic experience started with practical as well as theoretical activities in the laboratory and in the botanical garden of our centre that lasted 25 hours distributed in seven sessions, and was completed with field studies in Mariola mountain during a period of three days.
