On
May 16th the children of
Year 3 went to Trieste to visit the
Natural History Museum, in the morning, and the
Immaginario Scientifico, in the afternoon.
At the museum they participated in a
paleontology workshop, in which plaster casts were used to
reconstruct the shape of ancient fossils, which allowed them to understand how fossils are formed and
how their study can give back to us details about our planet's past. The students had also the opportunity to visit the paleontology section of the museum, to discover the
different ways in which living beings have left traces and how these traces came down to us.
The group then moved to the Immaginario Scientifico, where they
became familiar with chemistry and some of its basic concepts, thanks to a dedicated laboratory activity.
It was a very busy day, full of
interesting activities for our little paleontologists and chemists!
