Technology and nature learning centreFlashing light circuitThe flashing light circuit is a topic from the field of electronics that builds on the topic from year 7 (pocket watch). Simple experiments with an electronics experiment system are used to demonstrate the function of the components: Potentiometer, semiconductor diode/light emitting diode, capacitor and transistor are explored experimentally. The use of the resistor colour code and the digital multimeter as a voltage measuring device are explored in greater depth. The transistor circuit (astable multivibrator) required for the flashing circuit is created step by step from the individual experiments. Appropriate media are used to instruct students in the proper use of tools and materials. The students assemble the circuit board independently. As a mechanical task, a base plate is drilled, thermoformed and assembled.5€ per pupil:in
Technology and nature learning centreThe solar charger - servo-controlled solar cellA support system for holding a solar cell is planned and constructed. The solar cell holder can be rotated so that it can follow the course of the sun using a servo. The angle of inclination to the sun is set manually. The tracking is carried out via two light-dependent resistors (LDFR). The servo is controlled by an Arduino programme to be written by the students.31€ per pupil:in
Technology and nature learning centreIntroduction to 2D-CAD/CAMIn "Getting started with 2D CAD/CAM", pupils have the opportunity to design their own models and lettering on the computer and then cut them out of a polystyrene foam block using the FiloCUT/CAM system (easy-to-use CNC melt-cutting system). After a brief theoretical introduction and explanation of the fusion cutting machine, the participants gain access to a system that allows them to grasp mathematical principles, develop technical system thinking in a practical way and playfully promote imagination and creativity.2€ per pupil

Technology and nature learning centreCrank fan gear technologyThe derailleur gears of a bicycle provide the context for gear technology. The sense of different "gear ratios" is recognised through the experiences of the pupils. The pupils then build a pocket fan at their own pace using the materials and tools in the UMT workshop The crank fan contains a two-stage gearbox, with one gear being a gear transmission and the other a belt transmission (similar to a bicycle chain). In the first step, the students make the required parts themselves and then assemble them with the help of instructions in the second step. As a didactic reserve, they can also make a stand for the crank valve gate. Afterwards, experiments on the transmission ratio are carried out on their own model with the help of worksheets to gain a better understanding of the gearbox. These tie in with the first simple fraction calculation in maths lessons.5€ per pupil:in
Technology and nature learning centreHot wire/digital electronicsThe construction of the "hot wire" provides an introduction to digital electronics. The dual numbers and logical functions (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR) are worked out in pairs using student experiments. In parallel to the experiments, the practical handling of the components is discussed. Proper and safe soldering is another focus of the module. The assembly and installation of the device is carried out according to a schedule, which is intended to promote independent work according to instructions and the proper handling of tools and materials.7€ per pupil:in
Technology and nature learning centreMechatronicsThe topic of mechatronics ties in with the subject area: "The computer automates technical processes". The pupils start with experiments on the topic of "air". This is followed by a link to pneumatic control. Festo systems are used to provide an insight into professional sorting systems in food technology. In this context, career opportunities in technical academic appointments are highlighted. The range of topics gives initial impressions of possible contents of the technology profile in the 9th and 10th school year.1€ per pupil:in
Technology and nature learning centreArduinoStudents encounter electronics in every situation in our modern world. Using the example of a car park barrier, the pupils are to automate a car park entrance with the help of sensors and actuators.

RUZ Schortens"Should plastics disappear from planet Earth?" - A plastic projectBe part of it: a role play on the topic of plastic! Six different roles, each representing different perspectives on the topic. The participants familiarise themselves with the roles, then the elaborations are presented together in a gallery walk and then the different points of view are exchanged in an open discussion. Finally, the roles are discarded and the students have the opportunity to discuss their personal opinions on the topic together.
In this way, the topic is examined as objectively and holistically as possible, while at the same time encouraging students to form their own opinions so that they are able to understand current debates in the future and participate in them if necessary.

green&colourfulOld herbs for new clothes

Flax has been an important raw material for clothing in our region for over 3000 years.

Fibres protect us and are an important part of our consumption. We look at fibres for clothing and for use in the home, in this case as materials for insulation and comfort.

What do we need, buy and use? How does this affect the environment? Where can we do something for more sustainability?

green&colourfulGrass feeds the worldWhat do bread, milk and even petrol have in common? Not much at first glance - but a closer look at our fields reveals that it is the inconspicuous grass that fills our plates, feeds animals and powers engines. In our programme "Grass feeds the world" programme programme, pupils discover the diversity of grasses and cereals and the central role they play in our food system. We also take a critical look at conflicts of use: should we rather eat grain, feed it to animals or turn it into energy? Exciting experiments, role-playing games and an outdoor grain check ensure an active and insightful morning.200€ per group
