Students kit My body, my health

This kit contains equipment and resources for scientific experiments covering multiple disciplines to perform simple experiments on the perception of taste and on the ingredients in food.

In addition to experiments on breathing and taste, there are others which allow the demonstration of ingredients in what we eat.

A red case contains various laboratory materials and experimental utensils, including test tubes, pipettes, and a measuring cylinder. A brochure titled "My Body, My Health" is also included, providing instructions for using the materials.
A student kit for experiments on the body and health is shown. It includes various test tubes and samples used to conduct educational experiments.
Inside a red case are several test containers for medical tests, including glucose and protein tests. The equipment is carefully arranged and surrounded by foam to protect it during transport.
The kit contains various laboratory materials, including an Erlenmeyer flask, beakers, cotton swabs, and a foam insert. This equipment is typical for science experiments in schools.
A red student experiment set from Cornelsen is on display, bearing the motto "My Body, My Health." The set bears the model number 22014 and is designed for use in education.
An illustration shows an experimental setup for investigating the load-bearing capacity of bones. It shows two containers suspended from a rod, with a weight placed in the middle.
On the table are a textbook and various experimental materials, including two transparent beakers and two white plastic strips. Using the enclosed instructions, students can investigate and observe physical phenomena.
Two transparent cups are placed on a blue surface, holding a straight transparent tube from which a black weight hangs. This arrangement could be used for experiments measuring forces or demonstrating balance.
A horizontal tube connects two transparent beakers standing on a blue surface. A black weight hangs from the tube, representing a simple physical experiment for demonstrating equilibrium or the laws of levers.
The illustration shows various materials needed to conduct an experiment to detect starch in food. These include sugar, semolina, various samples in bowls, and some laboratory instruments such as pipettes and spoons.
Four glass dishes are arranged neatly on a table, surrounded by various chemicals and laboratory equipment, including a spoon, a pipette, and a container of sugar. In the background, an instruction manual is visible, providing instructions for experiments.
Two students are conducting an experiment in which they transfer a sample into a test tube using a pipette. Various fruits and vegetables, as well as chemical utensils such as test tubes and measuring beakers, are arranged on the table.
Six test tubes filled with colorful liquids sit in a yellow holder. Next to them are various pieces of fruit on Petri dishes, a tablespoon of an orange substance, and test strips for experiments.
Various laboratory equipment and chemicals for experiments are arranged on a white background. You can see test tubes with blue solution, measuring beakers, pipettes, spoons, and bottles with clearly labeled substances.
Two students are conducting an experiment, with one pouring a liquid from a container into a test tube. Various fruit and vegetable samples and laboratory equipment used for the experiment are on the table.
Two students conduct chemical experiments in the lab. They use test tubes, pipettes, and various substances to learn scientific methods in a hands-on way.
Two transparent beakers stand on a white base, connected by an elongated white tube. Next to the beakers is a black hook and another white tube, which can be used for educational experiments.
Various ingredients for chemical experiments are arranged on a white background. These include semolina, sugar, starch, a piece of bread, iodine solution, as well as a pipette and a spoon.
