In the image we can see an interactive form through which the visitor can measure the radiations of some elements surrounding us using a Geiger counter. For the experiments are presented different minerals and rocks with different uranium, radio and torio contents. The device allows visitors to put some barriers between the mineral and the tool that measures the radiations so as to explain the visitor the importance of these barriers to decrease the effects of the radiations. Among the available barriers there are concrete, lead, glass etc.
