Isabel Martins Brings Science to Life at Colégio 'O Pimpolho'
May 10, 2024
LSRE-LCM researcher Isabel Martins recently visited Colégio "O Pimpolho" in Maia for a special science session with very enthusiastic 4- to 5-year-old children. The children played a fun game, guessing scents like rosemary, cinnamon, and lavender. Isabel also demonstrated and explained the process of manufacturing perfumes and detergents. Bringing science to meet children's curiosity and enthusiasm made this session a success!
