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.
 
Teacher’s manual ‘Experiments in workstations: Experimenting with air’
With copy templates covering 31 workstations.
 
Age 6-10
Materials for up to 31 workstations (for 31 children at least)

The picture shows a red suitcase filled with various experimental materials such as test tubes, pipettes, measuring instruments and tools used for scientific experiments in education. The materials are neatly arranged in

experiments
  • 1 - Valves, valves, valves

    experiment "Valves, valves, valves"

    The children get to know different valves and their functions.


  • 2 - The tissue trick

    experiment "The tissue trick"

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


  • 3 - Experiments with bottles in the tub

    experiment "Experiments with bottles in the tub"

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


  • 4 - The test of courage

    experiment "The test of courage"

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


  • 5 - The Balloon Cup Trick

    experiment "The Balloon Cup Trick"

    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.


  • 6 - The Mystery of the Floating Ball

    experiment "The Mystery of the Floating Ball"

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


  • 7 - Lift sunken ships

    experiment "Lift sunken ships"

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


  • 8 - Recoil car

    experiment "Recoil car"

    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.


  • 9 - The Bottle Rocket

    experiment "The Bottle Rocket"

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


  • 10 - There's something in the air

    experiment "There's something in the air"

    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.


  • 11 - Air is something

    experiment "Air is something"

    The children examine the air in a balloon.


  • 12 - We need air to live

    experiment "We need air to live"

    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.


  • 13 - The fire in the water bath

    experiment "The fire in the water bath"

    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.


  • 14 - The funnel trick

    experiment "The funnel trick"

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


  • 15 - Construction work under water

    experiment "Construction work under water"

    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.


  • 16 - Suckers, suckers

    experiment "Suckers, suckers"

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


  • 17 - How Benni empties his aquarium

    experiment "How Benni empties his aquarium"

    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.


  • 18 - Compressed air

    experiment "Compressed air"

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


  • 19 - How an air pump works

    experiment "How an air pump works"

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


  • 20 - The cheeky paper ball

    experiment "The cheeky paper ball"

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


  • 21 - Building Instructions for a Rocket Cableway

    experiment "Building Instructions for a Rocket Cableway"

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


  • 22 - Hovercraft

    experiment "Hovercraft"

    The hovercraft is a technical application of the recoil principle.


  • 23 - Why does a hot air balloon take off?

    experiment "Why does a hot air balloon take off?"

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


  • 24 - Why does an airplane take off?

    experiment "Why does an airplane take off?"

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


  • 25 - Parachutes and propeller planes

    experiment "Parachutes and propeller planes"

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