Science MuseoLAB

The Science Museolab is a network of science teaching laboratories related to the Institute of Comprehensive School of Ripatransone which includes Montefiore dell'Aso, Ripatransone and Cossignano. The three labs were restored between 2011 and 2013 by Eng. Oronzo Mauro together with a GroupThe of guys.

The restoration has been able to reorganize the collection by ordering in different thematic collections constituents about 300 devices, models and artifacts of various nature.

The following are the various collections (musealizzate) of materials organized according to the analytical criteria although distinct in two historical groups (30s, 60s)

• Small collection of material of the '30s relative to a "school of electricity" and "medicine" given the presence of an electrotechnical kits and patterns in the heart and chalk ear.
• Beautiful kit "Little Leonardo" of Paravia dating back to the 60s with which you can make a wide range of experiences between physics, chemistry, biology
• Copy of the Barometer to water Gasparo Berti (1640) up more than 12 meters
• Beautiful collection of essays constituting a wooden xylotheque of over 20 different species, mostly indigenous to the area (80 years, in Eng loan collection. O. Mauro)
• Interesting mineralogy collection consists of various minerals from different places
• Small collection of vulcanological materials from Italian volcanoes (80s, Eng loan collection. O. Mauro)
• Small collection of malacological and marine artifacts from the Adriatic Sea, the Tyrrhenian Sea and the French Polynesia (80s, evolving in loan collection Eng. Mauro O.)
• Collection (55 insects) of full-scale models of insects (in Eng loan collection. O. Mauro)
• Collection of illustrations drawn Italian encyclopedia of 1849 and the collection of botany of Paravia, 1887 (copy from the collection by Eng loan. O. Mauro)
• Beautiful collection of educational posters (25 posters sciences, geography 20) of various periods between 1930 and 1970

The Science Museolab is also active as a laboratory, a place of science and service with a rather rich program:

• Scientific seminars and workshop open to all (and not students) organized almost twice a month, on Saturday morning
• Summer School (Summer School of Science for Kids. First week of August) focused on a specific theme each year
• Training school in experimental science for teachers
• Weather measurements with two weather stations (Municipal Meteorological Observatory of the City of Montefiore dell'Aso) installed in 2010

For the provision of science, the Science Museolab uses a network of advisers collected between veterinarians, physicians, engineers, chemists and physicists. Some seminars are international (US, UK, JP, etc ..)   "Science Museolab extended" from June of 2013 is the union of the workshops of Montefiore dell'Aso Sciences, Porto San Giorgio (restored in June 2013), Ripatransone (complete restoration, the end of 2013) and Cossignano (complete restoration, fine 2013). The curator of these laboratories is Ing. Oronzo Mauro which animates them with seminarsand and enhancement and preservation initiatives.
