Cronobie for schools: learning and experimenting

Curiosity makes kids perfect and natural scientists. This is why Cronobie dedicates, exhibitions, interactive learning workshops and shows specifically to the youth.
Learning and experimenting scientists’ life directly will be at issue for the younger audience. Kids will be able to speak about the depth of the cosmos or about the most elusive mysteries of life with prominent scientists in a straight line.
During Einsteins’ formula’s Centenary Celebration Year, the physics of Bologna have organized a sequence of encounters to explain what we are talking about when we say ‘Physics’. Physics is mostly regarded as a cold and unfriendly subject, yet it actually dialogues with art, literature and history and it will lead kids directly to planets, galaxies, black holes and micro cosmos.
So the exhibit ‘Research Paths’ will show how fascinating the physics researcher’s job may be, and how it may lead to being a true question artist.
Inside Cronobie there are other moments dedicated to schools: in Sala Borsa Ragazzi (Youth section), Piccoli Scienziati (Little Scientists) is a daily appointment with workshops for school aged youth. Workshops will also be organized inside the Museo del Patrimonio Industriale. Inside Sala Borsa, Energia in gioco several multi-media totem-poles will entertain while educating with enjoyable quiz questions around energy, from its production to its the daily home consuption.
The BioPop round top in Piazza Maggiore will offer games, competitions and easy experiments to learn about life’s sciences. Finally, with Conoscere la chimica (Getting to know Chemistry), the chemists of the University of Bologna will lead the kids among stills and test-tubes with an amazing show.
