AB This study explores the didactic potential of paleontological immovable heritage in Secondary Education in Spain, focusing on how paleontological sites can enrich the educational curriculum. It is based on a survey of experts to identify key aspects to consider when developing educational activities at paleontological sites, aligning learning based on the official educational curriculum with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The goal is, on the one hand, to improve awareness of natural heritage conservation and foster meaningful and interdisciplinary learning and, on the other hand, to optimize the use of paleontological sites as valuable and accessible educational resources. The research highlights the importance of direct contact of students with the natural environment, proposing activities before and after the visits that seek greater involvement of students with the territory in which they live, and that serve to consolidate and strengthen their knowledge. In this context, the key competences of the educational curriculum are also analyzed, based on the official competences proposed by the European Union, which can be reinforced in paleontological contexts, considering both the benefits and the difficulties of integrating these sites into formal education.
