Circuits
Electrical engineering is omnipresent in the pupils' world of experience. The experiments in the case help them gain insights into the use of electricity to generate light, heat and movement. These three possible uses are reproduced in simple experiments and then transferred to the environment.
The children learn that electricity can only develop its effect when it "flows in a circle" through conductive materials - and that technically stable connections are necessary for this. The simple materials in the case in traditional connection technology make these elementary relationships transparent and manageable.
The following topics are covered:
- Open and closed circuits
- Series and parallel connection
- Conductive and non-conductive materials
- Electric current hazards
- The path of household electricity
From Batt-Man to the trembling roller coaster with the buttonhole lamp to the robot game.
- 33 stations with suitable templates
- Material for 15 groups
Materials for 15 work groups.
Thermometers teaching unit
Children learn how to make a thermometer
by themselves, how to use it and how to
determine freezing and boiling points of water
on a thermometer without scale.
This way they learn the basic terminology and
theories of heat and thermal expansion.
Evaporation and condensation teaching unit
Children learn to understand the water cycle
by finding out what happens when a liquid
is converted into a gas and that a gas can be
converted back into a liquid.

Can light go around the corner? Are there coloured
shadows? Why is it dark at night?
Light and shadow, colour and reflection are optical
phenomenons, that fascinate children. Experiments
will help them to understand the natural scientific
facts behind the phenomenon.
The field of vision, the structure of the human eye
and other secrets become comprehensible.
All experiments tie in with the experiences of the
children. In a playful way they will find out the
laws of reflection, the composition of light and
optical illusions. Playing with shadows will lead
to surprising discoveries.

Lessons about magnets
Children learn about the properties of magnets.
Half of the bar magnets in the kit do not have
pole marks so that the children learn to determine
north and south poles for themselves.

lead to an understanding of how compasses work.
Children also learn to assemble their own compasses and to use them properly.

Light and compact to take with you, only 65cm long when folded.
This case contains an easy-to-use collection of measuring devices that can be used in primary school wherever temperature, weight and length need to be learned and measured. It has proven itself in physical education in physical and biological studies, but also in mathematics lessons.
The pupils can acquire elementary and contemporary knowledge about measurement conventions as well as the functioning and use of measuring devices. In a "measurement triathlon" they demonstrate that they can select the right measuring device, use it properly and record the results.
