We will observe the scale models and study real celestial bodies of solar system. We will understand how solar system was formed and how its future evolution will be.
We will analyze the characteristic of each planet and the laws of planetary motion, the alternation of the seasons, the eclipse of Sun and Moon.
Construction of solar planetary scale model.
We will do a time travel to discover life on Earth by the use of educational tools. We will analyze a large collection of fossil at retrace the various stage of evolution: from the earliest forms of life to the first vertebrates, from dinosaurs to birds, the animal extinction to ice ages.
Realization of small diorama representing a particular geologic age.
We will briefly show with scientific exactitude, the history of chemistry and physics, particularly with reference to Galileo e Lavoisier; explain the innovations that they have introduced in scientific world.
With the help of the three-dimensional models, we will examine the most common molecules (water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide) to better understand what some propriety depends on.
Realization of practical experiments to learn by playing the fundamental principles of chemistry and physics. Reproduction of experiment of falling bodies.
We will observe and analyze directly fossil records, and we will outline the main process that leads to the formation of to fossils. We will be also shows the paleontologists’ work.
Plaster cast of trilobites, ammonites and other common fossils.
Brief story of cartography, explanation of the symbols used in maps, how to orient ourselves and explanation of the devices of orientation (such us compass, altimeter and sextant).
We will walk outdoors orienting through the use of map and compass, learning how to recognize the elements showed on the topographic map.
