Science school lesson - SoSe 25
by David Wößmann and Stefan Stojilkovic
This project was a workshop for 9th-grade pupils at a vocational school ("Realschule") about science and the process of research.
We introduced the pupils to scientific thinking with a lecture about the scientific method, and help them apply this knowledge in practice. Pupils participated in a hands-on session with five different experiments that involved crafting and testing hypotheses. We further aimed to inspire their creative thinking through a bridge-building activity. We also hoped to show them that science and experiments can be fun and inspiring.
Our project thus built links between university and the non-academic people, who make research possible.
Endometriosis lesson - WiSe 24/25
by Caroline Düx, Milan Schmidle & Fabian Sturm
A lesson for pupils of the age of 15-17 years about endometriosis to raise awareness on the topic. Endometriosis is a common disease that is often only recognized late or even not at all due to a lack of knowledge about its existence in the general public as well as even some physicians. Awareness is very important, because the earlier endometriosis is diagnosed the better it can be treated. Therefore, pupils should be informed so they can recognise endometriosis for themselves or their friends. With endometriosis the endometrium spreads outside of the uterus and causes strong menstrual pain.
