The high-quality, free teaching material is available for you to download. The interactive slide sets are curriculum-compliant and can be used immediately in the classroom without paper.

SEK I - 1st learning year: Characteristics of the chemical reaction in the experiment

In order to carry out student experiments, the teacher must ensure the following requirements are met:

  • The subject room must be suitable for student experiments.
  • The learners can
    - operate the heat source (gas burner, hot air device) properly,
    - name the most important laboratory equipment,
    - name the respective hazards and protective measures for the experiment,
    - apply the safety rules for working in the laboratory,
    - carry out simple qualitative and quantitative standard experiments and
    - record them professionally.

    SEK I - 2nd learning year/upper school: Lithium more important than oil and gas in the future

    The first part of the teaching material is suitable for secondary level I (SEK I) from the 2nd year of learning as well as for the upper secondary level (OS) and the 2nd part only for the upper secondary level.

    SEK I - from 2nd year of learning: Content of the 1st part (slides 2-15)

    1. Element lithium - properties with links to YOUTUBE experiments
    2. Slides on the most important applications of lithium-ion batteries,
    world's largest deposits and extraction of lithium

    OS: Content of the 2nd part (slides 16-21)

    3. Schematic of a fused-salt electrolysis for the synthesis of lithium
    4. Schematic of the function of a lithium-ion battery
    5. Recycling of lithium batteries
    6. Toxicology of lithium and its compounds

    Teacher training: Renewable energies

    The use of fossil fuels and the associated increase in greenhouse gas emissions is increasingly impacting our climate and threatening life on our planet. Turning away from fossil fuels in favour of renewable energies is therefore an essential prerequisite for securing our ecological and economic future.

    The material provided below is suitable for internal STEM training courses. The slides and notes pages provide clear, comprehensive and objective information about technological principles and their importance for sustainable life on our planet.

    SEK I - 2nd-3rd year Chemistry / Upper school Physics: From the Big Bang to radiation protection

    The slides illustrate the entire nuclear chemistry. You will travel through space and back to Earth and experience how the Big Bang and the time that followed brought matter into our universe. You will learn how chemical elements, solar systems, i.e. stars (suns) and planets as well as energy were created from elementary particles through fusion, transmutation and nuclear fission. Since the existence of elements, there have also been natural radioactive isotopes. In addition, humans produce further radioactive isotopes artificially. Radioactive radiation must be measured and monitored in order to be able to use it sensibly in medicine and technology without causing damage.

    SEK I - end of the 2nd - beginning of the 3rd year of chemistry

    The teacher material is suitable for supplementing and deepening lessons when introducing the chemical elements in the periodic table and/or the differentiated atomic models.

    Physics - End of the intermediate school leaving certificate / upper secondary level

    The teacher material is suitable for supplementing and deepening lessons on radiation and isotopes
