SOUKUPOVÁ, Valerie
The aim of this work is to prepare an educational program with the elements of inquiry teaching (BOV) and at the same time to make sure whether the suggested activities from the point of view of the aims of teaching natural science at the 1 grade of the basic school are effective. This thesis shows some possibilities how to work out with this method and how to incorporate it to the process of teaching. As a purpose - built example there were used topics connected with the physiology of plants. Different teaching methods appropriate for the realization of BOV in the frame of the Educational program with respect to the relevant content of the textbooks of natural science are applied here. The thesis was dealt within the bounds of the project GA JU č. 065/2010/S a GA JU č. 078/2013/S

Geoarchaeological reconstruction of Ústecká basin landscape from prehistory time to the Middle Ages
SVATUŠKOVÁ, Anna
The presented thesis summarizes the geoarcheology of the area of so called Ústecká kotlina and it is written on two levels. This area studied is quite strictly specified. The first level covers the natural conditions followed by the hypotheses of human ecological strategies studied mainly on the base of (re)search and foot recognoscation. The second level of this thesis is based on my experiences with the rescue excavations which were held on the site Blok 004 right in the centre of the town Ústí nad Labem. I tried to interpret the information value of analysed sections on the base of pedogeochemical and micromorphological results.
