The minerals and the periodic table: Discover their properties

Through the periodic table of the chemical elements we will discover some of the spectacular properties presented by the minerals. Come to celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table with us!

The minerals in your cell phone

Do you know that your phone contains more than 30 elements of the periodic table that have been extracted from a wide variety of different minerals? By means of technological objects of our daily life we will discover the great number of minerals that have been used to construct them.

Make your own rock!

Come and make your rock! With this workshop, you can build a rock model with the objective of knowing its origin and the minerals that make it up.

The revolutionary material: graphene

Do you know what graphene is? And do you know for which applications can it be used? In this workshop we will see how we can obtain this famous material, and we will also see some of its applications and amazing properties.
