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.

The picture shows a red suitcase filled with various experimental materials that focus on the topic of air. There is also a manual with instructions and pictures of children doing experiments.
The image shows a hand holding a white experimental device with a suction cup, while another suction cup lies next to it. The background is a bright orange, which draws attention to the experimental material.
The picture shows instructions for various experiments in the field of air, intended for use in education. Materials and experiments are listed for stations D1 and C4, which increase the understanding of air pressure and recoil.
The picture shows various experimental materials, including a red vehicle with wheels, a green balloon and other components that can be used for experimental purposes. In the background there is an instruction manual that explains the use of these parts.
The picture shows a small vehicle with a green balloon mounted on it. The vehicle is standing on an orange surface and is probably demonstrating a principle of air pressure or kinetics.
The picture shows two children working on an experiment with a small, red-painted vehicle equipped with a yellow balloon. The children seem interested and engaged in the experiment while they are using the mechanics
The image shows instructions for a hovercraft experiment, including a materials list and recommendations for carrying it out. Station D3 mentions materials such as an air cushion plate, a balloon, and a balloon valve.
The picture shows an experiment kit for educational institutions, consisting of a red base plate, a green balloon and a connecting part. Next to the materials is a manual containing instructions on how to carry out an air experiment.
The image shows a green balloon decoration mounted on a sturdy, round red base. The background is a soft yellow, which highlights the vibrant color of the balloon and creates a friendly atmosphere.
The picture shows two children looking intently at two yellow balloons that are on a table. The balloons are connected by transparent tubes and the children appear to be taking part in an experiment that teaches scientific concepts.
The picture shows a worksheet entitled "Air" from the Cornelsen Experimenta material used in educational settings. Below is a photo of two children playing and experimenting with colorful balls.
The picture shows a set of red plastic parts with wheels arranged in a green foam insert. Next to these components, various experimental materials such as Vaseline and measuring instruments can be seen, which are intended for educational purposes.
The picture shows a collection of experimental materials arranged in a green foam pad. It contains a stopwatch, Vaseline, syringes and measuring instruments that can be used for school experiments.
The image shows a selection of experimental materials neatly arranged in a green foam insert. Visible objects include red plates, yellow balls and a green cylinder, which are suitable for various scientific experiments.
The picture shows two boys working in an experiment kit. One of the boys is using a tube to move a small yellow ball in a container of water while the other boy watches attentively.
The picture shows a red box containing various laboratory equipment, including several clear funnels and beakers, safely padded in green foam. This equipment is specifically designed for experiments in German educational
The picture shows a guide for an experiment with suction cups, including material specifications and a sketch. It describes how to use two suction cup hooks and a white plate to study the behavior of the suction cups on different surfaces
The picture shows an experiment kit with two suction cups, a transparent sheet and instructions. It is part of a teaching material that focuses on air pressure and related physics experiments.

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.
