GREDIQ-RIMA: The evolution of a teaching project of experimentation in chemistry

Authors of this project belong to the Resources Chemistry Teaching Group (GReDiQ) involved in RIMA (Research and innovation in learning methodologies). The audiovisual and multimedia material productions realized have been grouped into three themes: Basic Techniques of Experimentation in Chemistry, Safety in Chemistry Laboratories and Advanced Techniques of Experimentation in Chemistry. This work has been awarded a prize of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC–BARCELONATECH), one of the Autonomous Region of Catalunya and another one of a State scopePostprint (author’s final draft

The Stone and Ancient Quarries of Montjuïc Mountain (Barcelona, Spain)

The sandstone known as Montjuïc stone has been used throughout history in the city of Barcelona. However, it was during the Roman period that the quarries were extended considerably to supply the stone needed to build the city and its walls, as well as to use for its cultural manifestations (architecture, epigraphy, sculpture, etc.). Montjuïc stone is an easily recognisable sandstone with properties that make it suitable for a wide range of uses. The two varieties used for building, blanquet and rebuig, have very similar properties and can be distinguished mainly by their colouring (light grey in the case of blanquet and reddish ochre for rebuig)
