Students learn about acceleration as 3 dimensional vectors by using their mobile phones for measurements of acceleration and acceleration of gravity. Students experience how the acceleration of gravity is calculated and how the value depends on the position on earth.

Students should design their own fantasy object with cubes, blocks and wedges, where the wedges must be rotated at least 2 times or mirrored 2 times. Before they start, they have to sketch their idea on a sheet of paper. If they like they can build it later with building blocks.

Students determine distances in 3-dimensional coordinate system with the use of advanced technology

Students analyze und illustrate functions in two variables. So, the enhance their knowledge and skills about functions in one variable.

Get to know different optical illusions an their biological and psychological background
Design optical illusions with students

to understand the graticule of the earth and the relation to GPS coordinates

Design, test, analyze and adapt PET-powered / compressed air rockets and determine flight altitudes.

Planning and production of geodesic domes from slatted frames and vegetation to create shadow caves for the school yard.

Getting to know different Google Maps features (to set routes- also with different types of movements, satellite function, Google Street View)
Using „Google Earthengine- Timelapse“ to interpret satellite imagery and recognize (ecological) changes, like urban growth, glacier retreat and deforestation

Learning about optics (f.e. law of reflection) and image space with the help of anamorphic art and its connection to art history. When you place a cylindrical mirror onto an anamorphed painting the "real" picture reveals.
