Science is everywhere even in fairy tales!
This interactive exhibition is essentially aimed at children from 7 to 11. It is all about physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology and social sciences all interpreted through 33 fun experiments linked with fairy tales for children. These experiments will not only appeal to kids but also to those accompanying them, teenagers and adults. Developed by Centro Ciencia Viva from Lisbon, concepts and scientific phenomena are set up in the midst of a wonderful world; taken from the imaginary world of fairy tales. The exhibition is in French, English and Spanish.
