Metals under cover: science that surprises!

On November 7, as part of the popular science project Science Kids from INSCIENCE, an exciting lesson «Metals undercover: what things around us hide» was held for children aged 7–13.

It was conducted by Elizaveta Fasol, senior lecturer at the Department of Physical Materials Science, speaker of the Children’s and Youth Scientific University of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University.

During the meeting, young researchers looked into the amazing world of materials science and learned how much interesting things are hidden in ordinary things around us. Where is the real gold hidden in smartphones? Why does the Eiffel Tower change its height? How can metals «remember» their shape and what special materials are used in space and medicine?

Thanks to interesting examples and scientific explanations, children were convinced that materials science is not only about metals and alloys, but also about the technologies of the future, which are already changing our lives today. Such meetings help to see science in everyday things, develop curiosity and inspire their own discoveries!

Thank you to the Science Kids team from INSCIENCE for the opportunity to popularize science and STEM education among the younger generation!
