In this teaching unit, the pupils get to know the basic models of different types of oases. The example of the riverine oasis constitutes the central element of the unit. In an interactive process, the pupils can deduce a thematic map from a satellite image. As a next step, they can compare this map to the model of a riverine oasis in order to get an idea of the differences between model and reality.
