Have you ever looked deeply your hands? Probably yes, but if you had the opportunity to increase the magnifying power of your eye at the micrometer or nanometer level you would be surprised to discover how your hands, from the palm to the fingertips, of the fingernails to the fingers are the “sweet home” of specimens of bacteria and other microscopic life forms. This is why careful cleaning of the hands with soap is a good hygiene practice. Use your hands to paint and paint imaginative landscapes in “Hands: a place of bacteria!” And do not forget to wash them at the end of the activity!

Keeping talking about invisible microorganisms, do not miss the demonstration “So small … so resistant!” – a game dedicated to bacteria and antibiotics. We will discover, using the microscope, the world of microorganisms and diseases related to them. Through the game, we will learn how antibiotics work and why we should not abuse them.

If you’re still not tired of hearing about deseas, here’s for you: Rabies, Salmonella, Toxoplasmosis, Tuberculosis, Pest and so on … What do these terrible diseases have in common?

The future is in technology!Also for this weekend, integrating the new technologies with a good dexterity discover together with your parents “Nintendo Labo“: turn a simple piece of cardboard into something different, a bike, a fishing rod, a plane or whatever you come in 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 the workings of 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.

Magnan in the introduction to “Le Vol des Insectes:” Driven by what is done in the field of aviation, I applied to the insects the laws of air resistance and I concluded that their flight is impossible. “So in a French text of 1934, Le vol des insectes (The flight of insects) written by the entomologist Antoine Magnan; in it, the author applies the equations related to the resistance of air to insects and he obtains that their flight would be impossible, but adds that “we should not be surprised that the results of the calculations do not coincide with reality”. And in fact, today the insects are the masters in the air sector, defying all the laws, darting at great speed but with gracefulness, thanks to a powerful wing musculature. Follow the study “Beyond the laws of physics, Nature” during the guided tour of Insetti & Co.

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.

A new 2D show, free for the occasion, “Microcosm- The microcosm within us”, is scheduled Saturday and Sunday where you can “miniaturize” and be catapulted into the human body to defeat a mysterious viral infection in a raceagainst time … Will the patient survive?
