The aim of this teaching module is on presenting the concept of light while at the same time placing an emphasis on the use of technology and making the connection between physics, other STEM topics and everyday life explicit. This…
This module transforms electricity lessons from formula-focused teaching into engaging, real-life experiences. It equips future and in-service teachers with strategies to make electricity more relevant to students. Using real-world examples like reverse engineering, household electricity, and safety, the module connects…
This module introduces an innovative, student-centered approach to teaching the periodic system. Instead of presenting it as factual knowledge to be learnt by heart, we invite students to reflect on why and how researchers systematize knowledge and matter, and how…
Chemical reactions bear outstanding potential to be connected to many profound processes of life on Earth. The topic however is often presented very formally. This module therefore focuses on innovative teaching materials on chemical reactions for future teachers, improving both…
Knowledge about Material Cycles is vital for understanding ecosystems on the local, regional and global levels. This module connects material cycles across disciplines and real-life contexts, making them less abstract for students. For this purpose, the module uses the carbon…
The basic idea of this module is to introduce smartphones into the classroom by creating new and adapting existing biology lab exercises for smartphones and tablets using the devices’ internal sensors. Work is done within the framework of the secondary…
The module Measurement works with a variety of authentic contexts to pursue an innovative key competence approach to the standard topic measurement. The aim of the module is to provide a rich learning experience for future teachers on this topic…
This module focuses on the mathematical standard topic “functions”. The concept of functions is fundamental in mathematics and all other STEM subjects. In this module, we aim to help teach this topic using a key competence approach. We do this…
From Escher’s impossible scenarios to the geometric figures that shape graphic poems, many artist have found in math an inexhaustible source to expand their creativity. Thus, the infinity symbol (∞), similar to the Bernoulli’s lemniscate curve, appears in multiple forms…
There are 700 million unused mobile phones in drawers in the EU. The estimated value of materials in all these phones is €600 million to €1.2 billion. If we collect all these phones, we do not have to mine for…
