The study, which addresses the crystallization of salt in different environments, will be presented at this event organized by the Spanish Society of Minerology to encourage scientific vocations.
A group of third-year ESO students from IES Dos Mares presented at the City Council the work on the crystallization of salt and how it affects the environment and the climatic conditions to it.
This work entitled "Sodium Chloride (NaCl): we solve a crystallization problem", was made by high school students from the same center in 2016 at the VII Scientific End of Alconbendas (Madrid), a study on which this group has continued to work. students of third of ESO, under the direction of the professor of Chemistry, Francisco Rojas.
This research group, and the director of the IES Dos Mares, Luis Egío, explained to the mayor and the Councilor for Education the origin of this work and how, after seeing the difficulties of crystallizing salt in a different environment from the municipality , they looked for an explanation and solutions to it.
The IES will present this work, which has its origin in another 2014 study on celestial genesis, the IV Prize to promote vocations in Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry "MINERALIZA-SEM", organized by the Spanish Society of Mineralogy that has as objective to recognize the best initiatives or innovative educational actions of quality that achieve the promotion of scientific vocations.
