An innovative methodological proposal is designed to improve teaching of biodiversity in the subject of Biology and Geology of 4th of Spanish secondary education. The educational intervention is based on a problem-based learning experience (PBL), which includes a field trip. This type of methodology, framed in the constructivist current, has the purpose of placing students in the core of the learning activity, letting them solve autonomously a problem coming from a real context. The activity outside the school adds more realism to the experience and it is motivating for the students because breaks the conventional dynamics of the lessons.
