“Science Day – Why Geology?” at Kotlje

The Elementary School Kotlje hosted a science day for third and fourth graders. Due to the current epidemiological situation, the work was somewhat adapted and organized in nature. They learned about different minerals and rocks, how to determine rocks using the RockCheck application, and how different properties of rocks affect groundwater. They also determined the physicochemical properties of water through experiments and observed water flow according to the physical model of the aquifer. Special attention was paid to the mineral water Kotlje – Rimski vrelec, which rises at the end of the village and was well known to the children. We found out where this water comes from, why and how it is like, and how we can protect it in the future.
