Air

We continually breath air in and out. The air pressure weighs on us. Air is something concrete and material. Most young students don’t know this.

Important learning objectives: Air occupies space: • Containers which appear empty contain air. • The space in a container which is occupied by air cannot be taken up by another body at the same time. • Air can displace water from a container just as water can displace air. • Air can be contained within other substances.

Therefore, many of the characteristics of air that seem to be self-evident have to be questioned so that students can identify them. Students can carry out lots of simple experiments. Teachers can use a hot air balloon and model of a rocket to give demonstrations.

Air exerts a force: • Air can be compressed and will expand again. • The force of an air current can be used to propel an object. • Force of an air current can be used to propel an object. • Heated air expands, becomes lighter, and will therefore rise. • Air acts as a resistant force against bodies which are moving.

The ”Air 1” and ”Air 2” kits can be ordered separately, however, the ”Air 2” kit can only be used in combination with the ”Air 1” kit.

Air pollution and effects: •Dirt particles are present in the air.

Electrical Circuits

Children come across electrical appliances in all aspects of their life.

• What are the components of an electric circuit?

All kinds of devices convert electricity into other forms of energy such as heat, light or kinetic energy.

• What is a series and a parallel connection?

By carrying out experiments in the classroom, students learn to look for the answers to the following questions themselves:

• How can electrical current produce heat, light and motion? •How is an electromagnet made? • Which materials conduct electric currents and which don’t? •Why is an electric current dangerous?

Magnet and Compass

The kit contains working materials for two closely-related topics.

Teaching topic “Magnet”

Teaching topic “Compass”

First of all students can examine the properties of magnets: each magnet has two poles, like poles repel each other, unlike poles attract each other. They obtain this knowledge e.g. by using the two mini-waggons together with small bar magnets. The kit contains 30 bar magnets, half of which do not have any pole marks, so students can determine the north and south poles themselves.

Experiments with suspended or swimming bar magnets make it easy to understand the compass. The bar magnet – like the needle of a compass – will always point to North. The students use a compass card, compass needle and housing to build their own compass and determine the cardinal points and north point of a map.

The kit contains:

Horseshoe magnet

Bar magnets with and without red marked north pole

Magnetic door-closer Mini-waggons for bar magnets Sight compass

Floating platforms

Compasses for exercises
