Crystallography matters ... more!

This workshop is aimed to introduce crystallography to elementary and high schools teachers. The main goal is to improve teachers’ knowledge in crystal formation and its techniques. This will allow teachers to elaborate laboratory projects that include crystallography principles according to their own students’ level and to encourage the participation in the national and international crystal growing competition.
The workshop will be opened by Diego Lamas, President of AACr.

1.  Introduction to crystallography

2.  Atomic structure, chemical bonds and periodic table
