Delai” of Bolzano, presented the results of the research and monitoring activities carried out over the past year, with a speech entitled “Application with EAS teaching methodology in Situated Learning: development of a prototype for the study of the role of controlled mechanical ventilation on healthiness and air quality in confined environments – teaching processes and models for prototyping in indoor environments”…
It’s easy to say “plastic”! Information meetings with UPAD
What exactly are we talking about when we use the term ‘plastic’? Today, this term refers to thousands of different types of products and these cover the most diverse uses in everyday life and for the entire world population. Different plastics have different characteristics and are made up of, in addition to the main polymer, thousands of different molecules added to achieve the characteristics required for their use (plasticisers, colouring agents, softeners, flame retardants and others) and this also makes their disposal and possible reuse complicated…
Participation in the project “Arianna estate Bolzano 2023” of the association UPAD
Eco Research participated in the project “ARIANNA ESTATE BOLZANO”, an activity for children from 6 to 11 years old organised by UPAD Bolzano in summer 2023. In particular, on 27 July 2023, some Eco Research researchers carried out playful and informative activities with the children on the theme of using isotopic analysis for the traceability of quality food products.
In a workshop entitled ‘Discovering the Lost Origin’, the children learned what isotopes are and the importance of some of them in establishing the geographical origin of an agro-forestry product. They were then able to ‘put into practice’ what they had learned and try their hand at ‘research’ through two games to recognise the origin of apples, cereals, wood and grapes…
