Why do clouds not fall down from heaven and why can water be stacked?
These questions of pupils will be answered at the KIT booth during the Science Days at Europa-Park Rust. From October 15 to 17, the Europa-Park will open its gates to provide children, young people, and adults with exciting insights into the world of science and engineering. The 2009 Science Days are dedicated to “Climate” and “Expedition to Space”. While conducting the experiments relating to weather and climate at the KIT booth No. 8 in the entrance hall of the Europa-Park-Dome, the young researchers will find out where clouds, lightings, and hailstorms come from. It will be shown how thunderstorms develop and how man influences the weather. The exhibits on cloud formation come from the AIDA aerosol chamber for environmental and climate research of the KIT Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research. The do-it-yourself experiment “Can Water Be Stacked?” is on the trail of the mysteries of oceans and antarctic ice. The children will learn how sea flows develop, which influence the c
