The presentation of this initiative, which consists of interactive workshops aimed at school science has benefited from the presence of the Mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, the vice president of the Fundación Repsol, César Gallo, the director of Repsol Cartagena, José Luque and the Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero, and Education, Josefa Maroto.
During the school year, Movilab is traveling around the provincial capitals and major Spanish cities develop workshops aimed specifically at school children aged 7 to 17 years and also the general public, with the aim of bringing science to society and encourage scientific vocations along the Spanish geography.
Mobile facilities are designed to perform two concurrent workshops with groups of up to 30 people in morning and afternoon.
To participate in this activity, the Department of Education has released information about it among schools in Cartagena.
The workshops were attended by 15 school groups with a total of 420 students participating.
The workshops will be held in the mornings, while afternoons Movilab be open to the general public to show an exhibition on science.
So far, Movilab has come in this second edition 15 cities where it has been visited by over 8,000 people and is expected to increase by another 14 cities during 2011.
THREE INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
Light At the workshop Building Chemistry, participants will learn the origin and nature of light, guided by the monitor, bring into operation a bulb and a fluorescent tube, in which the light originates from the heat (light bulb) or ionize the atmosphere of a glass tube (the fluorescence).
Also produce chemical light, by reacting sodium carbonate and ammonium carbonate, luminol, and separate the pigments in the ink of a pen commercial.
The workshop's life through a microscope participants may look through the binocular insects, flowers, lichen, or anything else that students themselves bring.
A mold growing on a moist piece of bread or a bit of standing water will be a source of surprises.
The hydrolysis of water is the name of the shop where you can break the water molecule to observe its components, hydrogen and oxygen, to know its structure and discover its physicochemical properties.
