STILL WATERS TEAR AWAY BRIDGES
Abstract
The Slovenian Science Centre – Hiša eksperimentov developed a new interactive “hands-on” exhibit called “Still Waters Tear Away Bridges” together with the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering of the University of Ljubljana and put it into use in January 2016. The article describes the initial design, execution and the practical use of this exhibit that will be available to visitors of the centre. The theoretical background of some of river processes that can be observed with the help of the exhibit is described into more detail. The exhibit can be used for promotion of education and science as well as for development of teaching tools and raising awareness about the importance of the coexistence with nature and natural disasters.
