La RiconoScienza dei Metalli

The Gratitude and Knowledge of Metal

A well-equipped laboratory - that's what we prepared for the 2017 edition of Ecomondo. Our annual appointment at the fair was dedicated to the budding scientists from regional schools. Conducted by a team of science-educators, students had their fun while using magnets, batteries, pliers, beakers. Experimenting the main properties of different metals, they deepened their knowledge about them and the recycling chain.
Know, recognize, recycle

Conductivity, magnetism, density and malleability: these 4 properties were the solid base for experiments and exercises, each guided by an interactive touch-screen on the 4 worktables. Using head and hands, our guests participated enthusiastically, discovering many a secret about metals and their peculiar feature of being almost infinitely recyclable.

"La RiconoScienza dei Metalli" is only the latest of many educational projects in our collection, aimed at revaluating "scrap" metal as a common value not only for insiders but for every citizen who will acknowledge recycling as a virtuous and responsible daily pratice.
