Students kit Air – Gases around us


We constantly breathe air in and out. Air pressure weighs down on all of us. But as it is mostly invisible children often think that air is “nothing”.
The experiments allow the children to learn about the properties of air and to understand that air is concrete and tangible.
The kit also provides demonstration material for spectacular experiments for the teacher.

A box contains various experimental materials suitable for science classes. These include measuring instruments, containers, syringes, and other equipment that introduce students to scientific concepts in an interactive way.

The case contains various experimental materials related to the topic of "air." Instructions show children performing an experiment, while the case's compartments are filled with beakers, measuring instruments, and other utensils.
A page from an experimental textbook focuses on the topic of "air," illustrating it with a picture of two children playing with colorful balls. In the background, other children and materials can be seen, creating an experimental learning environment.
The image shows several red components with wheels arranged in a foam-filled box. Next to them are various utensils such as Vaseline and tubes that can be used for experimental purposes.
The box contains various experimental materials, including a stopwatch, containers, a roll of Vaseline, and measuring instruments. The green foam padding ensures the equipment stays securely in place during transport.
A well-organized box contains various experimental materials, including yellow balls, red discs, and a green rod. The compartments are lined with foam-like padding to protect the materials and keep them organized.
Two boys are conducting an experiment in which one uses a hose to blow water into a container while the other watches attentively. The experimental setup consists of a filled container in which a yellow ball floats.
A red box contains various experimental preparations, including several transparent funnels and containers arranged in a protective green foam insert. Additionally, some experimental materials, such as paper, are visible inside.
The instructions describe an experiment using suction cups, requiring materials such as two suction cups and a white plate. The text also includes additional instructions and considerations regarding the physical principles behind the experiment.
On the table are two suction cups and a transparent plastic strip, as well as a worksheet with instructions for experiments on air. In the background is a red box labeled "Air" from Cornelsen.
A hand lifts a white plate with a holding mechanism, while another holder rests on the orange base. These components appear to be part of a set for experiments or didactic applications in education.
The document provides instructions for air experiments with various stations, including the recoil cart and the "Sunken Ships" experiment. It lists required materials and explains the principles of recoil in simple terms.
The surface displays various materials for an experiment on the topic of air. These include a red plastic toy vehicle, a green balloon, several plastic parts, and instructions.
On an orange background, there's a small, red model vehicle with a green balloon attached. The balloon is connected to the vehicle by a tube, suggesting an experiment to demonstrate air pressure or propulsive force.
Two children are experimenting together with a small red cart connected to an inflated yellow balloon. They watch the cart move with excitement while curiously participating in the experiment.
The text describes materials and instructions for a hovercraft experiment designed to teach children basic physics principles. It also recommends conducting the experiment outdoors to ensure a safe and immersive experience.
Presented are various materials for an experiment kit on the topic of air. Shown are a red plastic lid, a green balloon, and a transparent connector, which are presumably used for conducting experiments.
A green balloon stands on a red base. It is equipped with a connecting element that could enable the demonstration of physical principles.
Two children sit at a table, observing two yellow balloons on red stands. They seem fascinated by an experiment that apparently involves simple physical principles.

The children get to know different valves and their functions.


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

One child presses two cups tightly against the balloon, which the other inflates. When inflated, the cups hold up by themselves because the air pressure inside them has been reduced compared to the outside pressure. So the physical phenomenon is similar to that of the suction cup.


The children get to the bottom of the secret of the floating ball.


With a tub and a balloon, the children observe how sunken ships can be lifted.


Every child has already experienced recoil on a balloon when it zigzags through the room when it is inflated and released. The reason for this is the fact that every force has an equal but oppositely directed force. With the recoil carriage, the force is directed in one direction.


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


The children are encouraged by the texts to set up “dirt traps” everywhere, which basically consist of sticky tape that is placed everywhere with the sticky side up and examined with a magnifying glass after a few days.


The children examine the air in a balloon.


This station draws children's attention to the body's constant intake (and release) of air. They should recognize that we constantly have to breathe air and that we can only live for a few minutes without air or oxygen.


In addition to the learning outcome, the children recognize that the water is rising and the candle is going out. She used up some of the air in the cup. The fact that the water rises in the cup proves this, as does the fact that the flame goes out.


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


Here the children see that air is a body that leaves no room for another – water – if it cannot escape. You will also learn that this experiment is used in technology: If work has to be done under water, you can use the "diving bell", the principle of which becomes clear in this experiment.


The children examine suction cups and place them on a white plate.


The attempt is only successful if the water is higher than the end of the hose - and if you have created a vacuum there by sucking it in. To do this, put the end of the hose in your mouth and suck until your mouth waters. Now squeeze the hose and hold it in the lower cup.


The children examine the air in a syringe and learn that air is a body.


In this experiment, a simple technical device from everyday life is made transparent by operating the "transparent" air pump in this experiment.


Children place a ball of paper in the neck of a feeding bottle and then blow on the neck of the bottle.


The children build their own small rocket ropeway and consolidate the recoil phenomenon.


The hovercraft is a technical application of the recoil principle.
