Glacier melting - Lo scioglimento dei ghiacciai
This poster was created to make us understand how the melting of glaciers has been evolving in recent years. From the mathematical models we deduced that: 1) the temperature of the water under the ice is above the freezing point, therefore, the sea water that is warmer will transfer energy, in the form of heat, to the ice sheet 2 ) and how the wind drags it.

La radioattività
This poster is based on nuclear medicine, the basis of which were given by the discoveries of Marie Curie, a great scientist of the early 1900s. She discovered the radioactivity of radium and polonium, making a notable contribution to medicine, with the birth of radiodiagnosis modern; in fact, already during the First World War she created the first mobile radiological unit to treat wounded soldiers. Using a pie chart, the constitution of radiation was also highlighted: potassium (30%), radon (15%), building materials (15%), cosmic radiation (13%) and more (27%) . The radiation dose was expressed using a mathematical formula.

Le quattro dimensioni di Einstein
With this work, we want to point out the importance of the study of mathematics in technological innovations, through the 4 dimensions (length, width, height and time) deduced by Einstein.
Simona Formica, Angelica Ruggeri ed Erika Vodini - classe III D
Einstein
It is intended to demonstrate how the studies and discoveries of Albert Einstein, have made a great contribution to innovation and scientific research to date. It is noted that from the special theory of relativity summarized in the formula E = mc2 Einstein came to formulate the theory of general relativity. According to this theory, space and time are part of a single dimension and the force of gravity is the effect of a large mass that curves space – time, so gravity is geometry. To arrive at these studies Einstein used non-Euclidean geometry. Thanks to these discoveries, we, today, can use high-tech devices.

Marco De Gaetano - classe III D
I viaggi nello spazio
With this poster we have found how the evolution of mathematical studies has allowed man to travel in space; passing from Newton's law of universal gravitation, to mathematical models of the trajectories of the planets around the Sun, to the law of special relativity and then to that of general relativity by Albert Einstein.
Silvia Capone e Chiara Cambria - classe III D
Laura Bassi
With this work we want to demonstrate how the studies and discoveries of scientists of the past have contributed to improving the world. An example is Laura Bassi who in 1700, using her mathematical studies, came to the conclusion that the air respected Boyle's law only on days of low humidity and therefore, it was also necessary to take into account water vapor. In addition, he found that glass was capable of producing electricity when heated. His discoveries certainly contributed to the construction of plumbing and solar panels.
Claudia Scalzo, Elena Di Domenico, Elisa Puglisi, Erika Giorgianni, Giada De Luca e Veronica Taranto - classe II B
Fibonacci
With this poster we want to show that mathematics, thanks to Fibonacci numbers and the golden section, helps to make nature more beautiful and perfect. In fact, the wonderful harmony of nature, also given by mathematical models, is found in the universe, in the organisms, animals and plants, which live in the sky, in the sea and on earth.

Previsione e terremoti
With this work we want to highlight how mathematics through models can help prevent earthquakes. The mathematical model taken into consideration is that of Reasenberg-Jones. It takes as input the seismic data of a region - how many earthquakes there have been, when they occurred, where they occurred and how strong they were - and outputs a probability distribution of future events. In other words: the algorithm is able to provide the probability, within a week, of having a shock of a certain magnitude on a spatial scale of interest.
GianLuca Destro - classe III D
Sisma
With this poster we want to highlight how the study of mathematical models, such as seismograms, is important for the prevention of damage caused by earthquakes.

Il ciclo dell'acqua 3D
This 3D poster represents the water cycle. For the creation we used cotton, paper mache, tinfoil, green cloth, billboard, cardboard and rock paper. Thanks to this cycle, the amount of water on earth is kept constant.
Irene Abbriano, Daniele Bertè, Noemi Calderone, Roberta Marchello e Agnese Trinchera - classe I A
We made this poster after playing with mysterious grids and thinking about what math is for us and where we find it. In the mysterious grids we have hidden the words that answer a question: "what does mathematics represent for us?"
Imagine superimposing the two grids and you will discover the words that express what mathematics is for us students of the 1D of the Zirilli middle school in Milazzo.
Ipazia
This poster represents Hypatia, a mathematician, philosopher and scientist, the inventor of the indeterminate equations called "diopters". Hypatia in our opinion is a great example for everyone. We like her desire to learn and to be a cultured woman despite the enormous difficulties of the time.

It is known that the Maya were good mathematicians and astronomers, they thought of "zero" long before this concept arrived in Europe and even in Asia; their positional and base 20 numbering system was obviously used for commercial exchanges and chocolate was used as a real commercial currency ... they have improved the world with mathematics!
Martina Menta - classe IB
Più alberi per un mondo migliore
This poster demonstrates how important trees are. I would like man to plant two for every tree cut, even of different types, in order to have a better world.

How good is honey! A teaspoon of honey makes me feel so good!
Bees, unknowingly, use math to build honeycombs while optimizing space! It's a nice example of space tessellation!
Giuseppe Longo e Marco Leo- classe IB
The Maya’s mathematics is considered one of the most advanced of its time for the introduction of zero and the use of a twenty-based positional system ... they used their hands and feet to count!
Their particular numbering system was useful for the definition of complex calendars that indicate how advanced their astronomical studies were.
MAYA’S MATHEMATICS…. FOR A BETTER WORLD!

We made this poster because mathematics is useful for preparing dunkin , that is, with the different quantities of ingredients we can cook it and when we drink it we are happy because it is very good. We need mathematics for everyday life!
Serena Raffa, Sofia Molino e Gloria Torre -classe IE
Mathematics is also useful in every "good" situation, even in the preparation of a simple dessert, because you need to precisely quantify the ingredients to get an excellent result!

Persiverance is a NASA rover sent to Mars to detect possible life forms, departed on July 30, 2020, traveling for 7 months and covering about 470,776,457 km, arrived on the Martian surface on February 18, 2021. All this was possible only thanks to all the mathematical and physical studies that lie behind this project.

L'astronomia - ieri e oggi
This poster shows how mathematics has improved the world astronomically and scientifically. We have represented how the stars were once observed compared to now and by what means. We made the poster with digital software. We made it because we believe mathematics has improved the way we observe the stars over the years and look at them from a different perspective.
