| The IESO is an annual competition for secondary school students. The students have to test their skills in all major areas of Earth sciences, including geology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, terrestrial astronomy and environmental sciences. The theoretical examination includes problems which are supposed to measure the participants’ knowledge and understanding of Earth science areas. The practical examination consists of tasks which are designed to assess participants’ abilities to carry out scientific investigations in earth science inquiries. he IESO is the only International Olympiad that includes an International Team Field Investigation.
Each national team has also to present a special geological site from his country.
This poster will show the fieldwork made with and by the French students/teachers team for the last IESO which took place in Argentina.
The main aim of the IESO is to encourage students’ interest and public awareness of Earth Science and to enhance Earth science learning. |
