Xperimania Projekt endet bald

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Is your classroom or school lab lacking electronic or scientific
equipment? Take part in the Xperimania (www.xperimania.net) science
competition - the winning schools from across Europe will be awarded
with funds for scientific resources. Besides, each of the winning
students will receive a media player.
The competition is all about properties and the materials comprising
them. Take for example an umbrella made of synthetic fabrics: what
happens when you pour a glass of water on the umbrella? Can you set up
other easy experiments that show water resistance in action? Can you
find other applications where that specific property is required?
The competition is open for secondary school students aged 10-20 years
old from the European Union, candidate countries and EFTA countries.
Participation is possible only through the online portal
www.xperimania.net. The deadline for submissions is 30 April 2009.
