Experiment set PRIMARY SCHOOL 3 (Soil / Food / Energy)
Explore the environment
With this experiment set, students will discover a wide range of topics: soil, water, nutrients and renewable forms of energy. The focus is on the following questions:
- What are the dangers of deforestation?
- How does the water permeability of soil work?
- How can polluted water be gradually purified?
- How can starch, protein, and fat be detected in food?
Renewable energy
For children, it is always a revelation to observe how a falling block of aluminium can cause a lamp to light up. It is no less fascinating to see how the movement of air, water, light or heat can each give rise to an electric current. Use of renewable energy sources which do not cause pollution awakens students’ own consciousness of the environment.
Using the storage case as a water trough
In this experiment set, the inlay with the apparatus cut-outs can be taken out by its handles so that the empty case can be used as a water trough.
