A central theme of the discussion about education in Europe is linked to improving the quality and relevance of skills and competences that educational system beneficiaries form during their training. To perform a proper and coherent analysis on the introduction of informations about ferrofluids in the national curriculum a sociological study was conducted in several schools in the city Bârlad, Romania. Through an interactive exhibition stand, pupils were able to maneuver a ferrofluid with a magnet. The stand was arranged such as to allow easy access for handling the ferrofluid and for reading the informations displayed on its walls.
