World Ocean Day Tribute
On June 8, the World Ocean Day is celebrated worldwide. The hydrosphere covers more than two-thirds of our entire planet, so much so that it refers to the planet Earth as the “Blue Planet”.These huge stretches of water are a resource to be protected: they represent the “home” of many forms of life; they play essential roles in the cycles of matter and energy for our Planet and provide us with so many necessary kind of food in our diets. At Città della Scienza we will celebrate the value of these marine ecosystems with activities, workshops and themed guided tours not to be missed!
Look at the program!
Città della Scienza keeps working jointly with the Anton Dohrn Napoli Zoological Station for the celebration of the World Oceans Day! On Saturday, June 9th, do not miss the opportunity to meet the researchers and discover together “The Sea as a resource for care and well-being“. There will be many research activities illustrated to the public related to sampling, isolation and maintenance of marine species of biotechnological interest (especially microalgae), preparation of chemical extracts, testing the possible bioactivity of extracts on human models and the development of new products from marine organisms for human care and well-being. And yet, many educational games and fun activities on the marine world await you at the Science Tastings for today’s children, researchers tomorrow’s researchers.
Technology is the future! By integrating new technologies with good manual skills, discover with your parents “Nintendo Labo”: a new piece of cardboard in something different, a motorbike, a fishing rod, a plane or whatever comes to mind! Then, add a Nintendo Switch console to bring them to life and enjoyment is guaranteed! Win a race, catch a fish, play … With Nintendo Labo, everyone can experience the joy of building, playing and discovering. Have fun watching your creations: you could even invent new ways to play with Toy-Con! Visit the exhibition dedicated to the sea! Find out which new fish, molluscs and crustaceans live in our tanks following the guided tour Marine Ecosystems.
During the guide, you will have the opportunity to caress some marine organisms in our Touch pool. What an emotion! For the little ones, “Create your marine animals” a laboratory where fish shapes are colored, inventing new species, and then, as for “magic”, make them appear and swim in a large virtual aquarium.
BIT is back the most exhibit loved by adults and children! BIT! You do not know him? Come and meet him, he will answer all your scientific curiosities and not only … Where have you been in this time? What adventures will he tell you? Do not miss this appointment with “Talk to BIT”.
Take part in the guided tour by “Bugs & CO” the new exhibition space dedicated to the spectacular world of insects and more. For every man on Earth there are over 150 million insects. “The six-legged giants” have conquered almost all the habitats of our planet …. it’s time to start getting to know them better. Beyond the visits they guide a Corporea the first interactive museum on the Human Body in Italy, the 2D show From the Earth to the Universe – From the Earth to the Universe” to discover the most important theories elaborated by man during the time in the astronomical field up to the future perspectives, and for 3D lovers, “Robot Explorers” is waiting for you to travel together, lander and orbiter inside our solar system. Come and discover the rich program! We are waiting for you in many!
