We invite you to know the unfiltered programme that Ciência Viva has prepared bringing to the fore drinking water as a universal basic right.
Commit for a future with water!
Do you want to know the rest of the contents and experiences of this great interactive exhibition?
Embark on a journey through the many facets of water availability and use and discover how science, technology, knowledge and imagination are decisive for a future with water. The decision is in your hands!
Water has the leading role in our programme. What can you expect for each day?
AQUALAB - 11:00-12:00 / 16:00-17:00
A handful of experiments to understand the importance of a good that is crucial to life.
WHAT LIFE DOES WATER HIDE?
Discover the microscopic life of seas, rivers and lakes, as well as its importance for a healthy Earth.
WHY AREN'T WATER DROPS SQUARE?
Using floating clips, discover how pond skaters glide across the surface of pond water, building detergent-powered boats and defying gravity.
THE CHATTERBOX
The classic origami game in a marine version. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Indian to the Arctic, explore the oceans and discover the organisms living there.
WHAT IS THE LARGEST OCEAN IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM?
Comets, the satellites of the gas giant planets, Mars and the Moon: they all show signs of water. Find out about the presence of this liquid across the Solar System.
SOFT WATER ON HARD STONE
Water is not all the same, but what is proportion of the different types? Measure the mineral salts that make up water and understand the importance of its hardness for human consumption.
PRESENT AND FUTURE, WITH OR WITHOUT WATER?
Almost everything we produce consumes water. Check how much water is needed for a cup of coffee, a steak or a T-shirt. You will be shocked!
PLASTIC ISLANDS?
Plastics are everywhere in our daily lives. What impacts do they have on the environment and how can we limit their use?
TO FLOAT OR NOT TO FLOAT, THAT IS THE QUESTION!
Know all about boats and submarines through the magnifying glass of science. Try the density of different liquids, and understand how it influences buoyancy.
