Additional Equipment for the Student Lab – Workbench and Sensors

As a school with the “School for the Gifted” seal of approval, we can apply annually for funding from the Hessian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs to provide individualized support for gifted students. Fortunately, this made it possible to finance a small workbench for the student lab.
Time and again, students also want to engage in hands-on activities, as has been the case in various “Jugend forscht” projects over the past two years. Three 10th-grade students are currently building a device as part of their “Jugend Forscht” project to investigate how much oxygen various oxidizing agents can produce at high temperatures. The workbench now makes this work easier.
The gas evolution over time is being monitored using an oxygen probe, which was funded earlier this year through the “Jugend Forscht” sponsor pool.
Another “Jugend Forscht” group from 7th grade also received the go-ahead in September to purchase a high-quality nitrate probe, which will be used to conduct research in the Lahn River.
