Technical specifications

Size of kit: 540 x 450 x 150

• 1 - Make your own thermometer

  experiment "Make your own thermometer"

  The children build a thermometer themselves.

  
  
• 2 - Building a reading trainer for thermometer scales

  experiment "Building a reading trainer for thermometer scales"

  Children enjoy making and using this functional model to practice alone or with a partner. It shows two thermometers at the same height.

  
  
• 3 - Measuring temperatures at home

  experiment "Measuring temperatures at home"

  We will shortly provide you with a description of the experiment at this point.

  
  
• 4 - Solve tasks for measuring masters

  experiment "Solve tasks for measuring masters"

  The name of the station already suggests it: It is intended for the children who have mastered measuring with a thermometer.

  
  
• 5 - Build a beam balance yourself

  experiment "Build a beam balance yourself"

  While building this very simple yet functional scale model, children will learn a lot about beam scale technology.

  
  
• 6 - See through quick scales and use them correctly

  experiment "See through quick scales and use them correctly"

  In this type of balance, you do not compare the mass to be weighed with another (that of the weights), but with the change of a spring.

  
  
• 7 - Determine the weight of satchels

  experiment "Determine the weight of satchels"

  The spring scale can be used to quickly weigh many satchels and start a fruitful conversation. In order for the children to be able to independently understand the facts according to the model of learning at stations, the text includes a table that provides a rough guide to how much 10% of one's own body weight is.

  
  
• 8 - How do you know how long a meter is?

  experiment "How do you know how long a meter is?"

  The aim of this station sheet is to answer the question that children like to ask: How does the manufacturer of yardsticks and rulers know what a meter is?

  
  
• 9 - We measure each other/ measuring tasks with the tape measure

  experiment "We measure each other/ measuring tasks with the tape measure"

  As is usual with station work, the children work out the correct use of the tape measure from the station sheet before taking the suggested measurements. Of particular importance, of course, are the application of the zero point and the tensioning of the tape. Some children also need to be sure about the division of the tape into cm and mm.

  
  
• 10 - Measuring with the caliper out of the box

  experiment "Measuring with the caliper out of the box"

  The goal of working with this station sheet is to provide countless measurement activities with high motivation. With this simple device, the children can make measurements that are not possible for them with the rulers and triangles they usually use at school: Diameters (inside and outside) depths, thicknesses, lengths that are complicated to determine.

  
  
• 11 - Building a caliper yourself

  experiment "Building a caliper yourself"

  Being able to recreate the coveted caliper out of the box is highly motivating. The model also works amazingly well and has proven itself in many elementary school classrooms.

  
  
• 12 - Celsius and Fahrenheit

  experiment "Celsius and Fahrenheit"

  To measure is to compare. Units of measurement represent agreements about what to compare with, how the units are defined, and how or after whom they are named. This is the insight that this station provides.

  
  
• 13 - Ideas for temperature measurements

  experiment "Ideas for temperature measurements"

  The goal of working with this station sheet is hands-on measurement training. Although the children themselves will find many measurement locations in the classroom, 19 tasks are provided here to ensure maximum measurement and systematic note-taking.

  
  
• 14 - Weighing with the beam balance

  experiment "Weighing with the beam balance"

  If you want to lead children in the long term to understand how to handle technical devices they are still unfamiliar with, this is an opportunity to do so.
  First of all, they deal with the "instructions for use" for the scales, whereby they follow each step on the scales in an active way.

  
  
• 15 - Making a tape measure for your pocket

  experiment "Making a tape measure for your pocket"

  Children use it often enough to achieve the desired training success and learn elementary things about measuring tapes while gluing them together.
