TESS beginner

Easy access into the natural sciences

Features

TESS beginner With the student experiment system TESS, PHYWE offers you a curricula-compliant teaching system for all science subjects and class levels.

The TESS beginner sets are the starting point for introducing the students to the natural sciences (as of elementary school or secondary level I). They are available for the following topics:  Heat  Water  Senses  Motion  Light, air, and earth  Current and magnets  NEW: optics – Look at ligth The cross-discipline experiments enable an experiencebased approach towards the natural sciences. They appeal to the natural curiosity of the students and, thereby, arouse

All of the required materials and equipment parts are stored in a sturdy and wellstructured storage tray.

Cross-discipline experiments with age-appropriate descriptions to help the students learn how to perform experiments independently on their own.

Teacher sets for demonstration experiments are also available.

Detailed handbooks in colour print with additional notes for the teachers are also available.

Product Information

TESS beginner set Heat What does “hot” and “cold” actually mean? Do substances or materials change depending on the temperature? Why do we sweat and how can we avoid feeling cold? These and other questions are covered in the experiments against a scientific background.

The supplied colour-print handbook includes 13 experiments in the following fields:

 Temperature sensation  Temperature and density  Temperature measurement  Heat insulation  Melting and evaporation TESS beginner set Heat

TESS beginner set Water The experiments are very suitable for teaching series concerning topics of topical interest, e.g. water, substances, habitats, and the environment. The supplied colour-print handbook includes 14 experiments of the following fields:

 States of matter

 Miscibility

 Dissolving power

 Surface tension

 Density

 Water purification

 Temperature  Water hardness TESS beginner set Water

13233.89

TESS beginner set Senses Senses as a topic are ideally suitable for linking the three natural science disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology: physical phenomena are the basis for hearing and sight; when we taste or smell something, chemical processes are involved; and for testing all of our five senses, experiments concerning our own perception can be performed. The supplied colour-print handbook includes 15 experiments of the following fields:

 Taste

 Hearing

 Smell

 Sight

 Touch

TESS beginner set Light, air, and earth The physical, chemical, and biological aspects of light, air, and earth can be experienced directly and enable various approaches concerning the experiments ranging from the properties of atmospheric pressure up to the question of what plants need for growing. The supplied colour-print handbook includes 18 experiments of the following fields:

 Shadows

 Properties of air

 Mirrors

 Soil and earth

 Refraction and diffraction

TESS beginner set Current and magnets The topic “current” is particularly suitable for performing exciting experiments that stimulate technical skills. In addition, the necessary safety measures for working with electricity can also be treated so that this important aspect of experiments in general can find its way into the students’ consciousness. The supplied colour-print handbook includes 15 experiments of the following fields:

 Electric circuits

 Magnetic field

 Generating light with electric current

 Magnetism

 Heating with electric current TESS beginner set Current and magnets

TESS beginner set Motion Motion combines physical and biological phenomena in a natural way. This set can be used to introduce the students to the fundamental principles of mechanics (measurement of distance, time, and velocity) as well as to let them perform physiological examinations on their own bodies (pulse and respiration). In chemistry, motion is the basis for mass transfer. The supplied colour-print handbook includes 14 experiments of the following fields:

 Distance, time, and velocity

 Bones and joints

 Respiration and pulse

 Brownian motion

 Forces

NEW: Optics – Look at light Light is the link between optical phenomena and optical technologies. Physics with its close connections to the reality of life is often hardly paid attention to on the lower class levels. The experiments in this set were developed by experienced pedagogues and were tried and tested in classes. They help stimulate the students’ thirst for knowledge and discovery while at the same time laying the foundations of the fundamental physical principles. For the first time, the experiments are provided in digital format on a CD and they can even be used as early as on the elementary school level. The supplied digital handbook includes 5 experiments of the following fields:

 Mirrors

TESS beginner – overview The sets include all of the required materials and instructions. The age-appropriate experiment descriptions help students perform the experiments independently on their own and to document and evaluate their results. In doing so, they also learn how to handle the experiment equipment, such as the support material, laboratory glassware, dynamometers, stopwatches, etc. In addition, sets for demonstration experiments and the accompanying literature for teachers are also available. The teacher booklet includes notes on the preparation and execution of the experiments as well as typical measurement results and the solutions of the student experiments.
