Description

From ECHO.lu.Pure water was as important to the Romans as it is to us in the 21st century! The Romans worshipped water like gods, because they knew that without it there could be no life and no progress. Today, everyone has running water at home. But in Roman times, only wealthy Roman citizens had running water in their homes, while the rest of us got it from public fountains. By the 4th century AD, there were 1,352 fountains in Rome! In short workshops, we will discover the different states of water and its continuous transformation. Then we'll look at how our ancestors, the Greeks and Romans, managed to operate a fountain without an electric pump. This revolutionary method was invented 2,000 years ago by the Greek scientist Heron of Alexandria. This fountain is also known as Heron's fountain. Thanks to this method, less water is wasted. Next, we'll be taking a look at the siphon system with our Roman friends. These two methods work with the principles of gravity in physics, which we'll be exploring during these different workshops.Family workshop (from age 6)
