A day full of minerals (offer for large school groups)

At six stations spread across the whole exhibition, children will learn by means of their daily routine which minerals they encounter day in, day out. First thing in the morning, as the alarm goes, one mineral is already at play – quartz. It takes care of the regular ticking. And even at school, on the phone, or in the evening when you clean your teeth, minerals are everywhere, making our daily lives easier. Children will discover the most important minerals in daily life, practically and through play. The programme is designed for large groups of 70 pupils and above.
