Further Support for Education from the Chemical Industry Fund

Every three years, secondary schools can apply to the Chemical Industry Fund for financial support for experimental science instruction. Steinmühle regularly applies for these grants. In the spring, another €2,500 was approved. With these funds, the school has since been able to purchase new molecular building sets and magnetic applications for modeling chemical processes and concepts, as well as additional specialized literature. With an attachment for carbon dioxide cylinders designed to compress dry ice tablets, small amounts of dry ice can now be produced right at the school. Experiments with dry ice are among the most popular activities among the students. Additional experimental materials for student experiments have also been purchased and will be gradually added in the coming weeks.

Experiments with dry ice are fascinating

 

Models make it easier to understand chemical structures and reactions

 

Smart sensors, when used in conjunction with a tablet or smartphone, enable the measurement of various parameters over time

 

Conductivity can be measured very easily using LEDs
