Learning and Playing with salt in Aveiro, Portugal

For hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years, salt production was a key economic activity in the region around Aveiro, Portugal. In 2009, the interactive CD A Place in the Salt!-Learn to Play with Salt from Aveiro was released to highlight the scientific, cultural, and economic aspects of this ubiquitous substance. Produced by a multidisciplinary team, the CD contains acitivites and experiments that explore salt, salt water, brine, and some local plants and wildlife found in and around the salt pans at Aveiro.
