How fit am I?

Gerhard Tschakert

Everyone is talking about fitness and fitness sports. But what exactly is fitness, how is it measured and how fit am I myself? And above all, does fitness mean the same thing for everyone?

In this didactic lab pupils gain an insight into the university's exercise science laboratory. They are given the opportunity to take a practical self-test that can help them with this,

Tell me, what do you know about ...?

Lisa Paleczek + Daniela Ender

How well do the pupils actually know their own region? How can they integrate sustainability into their everyday lives? How can all pupils work together on a topic - even if they don't all read or understand at the same speed?

In this didactic lab, the pupils go on a journey of discovery through Styria using reading and learning materials and explore the topic of sustainability - digitally, interactively and at their own pace. The pupils

How can recognise fake news recognise?

Stephan Schicker

Do we check content on social media before we share or like it? How can we recognise fake news and refute it at the same time? Recognising and refuting fake news requires a critical look at texts and their language.

In this didactic lab, students learn how to use the learning platform Fictional Science learning platform. On this learning platform, you can attend a course to become a professional fact checker and receive a certificate at the end.

Do what you can!

Barbara Weißenbacher

When choosing a career, it's all about your own talents and not just your personal interests. But how can you find out what suits you best?

In this didactic laboratory pupils tips and carry out practical self-tests to help them do this,

Should we eat insect burgers in the future?

Victoria Reinsperger

Should we eat insect burgers in the future to protect the climate? Questions like these are important if we want to shape our future sustainably - and at the same time are socially controversial. How can we actively participate in their negotiation and find consensual solutions? What linguistic tools do we need for this? How can we take different perspectives into account?

In this didactic laboratory Pupils will get to know teaching materials for multi-perspective argumentation on a controversial question about climate change. These are intended to help,

What influence does social media have on mental health?

Muhammed Akbulut

Is vaping the new smoking? Does it make sense to train to muscle failure during strength training? And what influence does social media have on mental health? Questions like these are not only the subject of controversial debate in the scientific community, but are also relevant for students of everyday relevance. In addition, they harbour great potential for arousing interest in science and teaching the basics of scientific thinking and writing.

In this didactic laboratory pupils get to know teaching materials for scientific writing. These are intended to help

The 1.5° target in danger!

Michael Fischer

In 2019, a well-known science magazine published an article on the topic of "Endangering the 1.5°C climate target". The article points out that many old fossil-fuelled power plants are still in operation around the world. It is particularly striking that almost half of the active coal-fired power plants were only built after 2004. But what does this mean for our 1.5-degree target? Can we use school maths to come to similar conclusions as the authors of the article?

These and other questions will be answered by the students in this didactic lab using publicly available data and methods.

This offer originates from the project "New topics for ESD and maths lessons, both scientific and interesting", which is funded by the Sustainability Award 2024 in the Learning category with silver.

Moving maths - mathematics in motion

Christoph Oberbucher, Christina Krause

Maths is often seen as an abstract juggling of symbols that only takes place "in the head". But we want to show this: Maths can also be experienced physically!

In this didactic laboratory pupilsexperience how closely movement and physical experiences are linked to learning maths. The pupils
