On February 23, Marijana Boras, a meteorologist, joined Iva Lončar, a seismologist and our collaborator on the CRONOS project, to visit the Sunčev sjaj – Nazaret kindergarten. Iva presented the CRONOS project, while both together conducted engaging experiments to introduce the children to the fields of meteorology and seismology. The children learned about creating a storm in glass, forming cotton clouds, making a model of the Earth from clay, and much more. In addition, Iva demonstrated the occurrence of earthquakes and how seismic waves travel, and also played a game of hide-and-seek earthquake to educate the children on proper earthquake safety measures. We believe that this visit inspired many young scientists to explore the world around them.
