Applied Sciences

Applied Sciences The scientific roots of technology

Applied sciences have been a part of the re-

pertory of physicists, chemists, and biologists

for a long time. Look at Peter Grnberg, for

example, who won the Nobel Prize in physics

for his discovery of the giant magnetoresis-

tance effect. This effect is the basis of modern

storage media and goes back to the famous

Stern-Gerlach experiment concerning the spin

polarisation of electrons.

The interlacing of scientific disciplines is often

a major factor for success. The distinction of

science in the classic fields of physics, che-

mistry, and biology is increasingly becoming

blurred and there is a strong trend towards

interdisciplinary and application-oriented le-

arning and teaching. This trend can also be

observed at schools and universities.

There are numerous new disciplines covering

attractive new subjects. For teaching and re-

search, this new area is an opportunity and a

challenge alike. It is no coincidence that com-

panies and institutes formulate a shared de-

mand: interdisciplinary education at schools

and universities for the optimum preparation

of the next generation of scientists.

In order to meet the global trends in educati-

on up to interdisciplinary applications in the

natural sciences, we have introduced a fourth

science category at PHYWE: Applied Sciences

Excellent products and solutions for schools and universities

PHYWE already covers many subject areas in

physics, chemistry, and biology with high-

quality solution systems and teaching mate-

rials. In addition, PHYWE also offers an exten-

sive range of products in the new discipline

applied sciences: approximately 100 experi-

ments and equipment sets for very young stu-

dents at school, all the way up to advanced

laboratory courses at universities. We also of-

fer customised solutions that are perfectly

adapted to the needs and curricula of our

customers.

Discover PHYWEs solution systems and, there-

by, a nearly unlimited variety and flexibility

for your classes and courses, combined with

the quality, service, and intrinsic value of a

global market leader made in Germany.

Applied Sciences

Natural sciences from the outset applied sciences at school

At school, there is a strong trend moving away

from lessons in the classic disciplines of phy-

sics, chemistry, and biology and moving to-

wards the interdisciplinary and phenomena-

based treatment of scientific content. In

Germany, for example, which is a global

trendsetter in education, the subject of natu-

ral sciences is increasingly replacing the indi-

vidual classic science subjects.

Starting point for natural sciences with

TESS beginner

PHYWE has developed student sets that are

specifically adapted to the requirements of in-

terdisciplinary classes as of the age of appro-

ximately 10 years. The following subject areas

are covered:

n Heat

n Water

n Senses

n Motion

n Light, air, and earth

n Current and magnets

TESS beginner sets include all of the required

equipment along with high-quality didactic

experiment descriptions as master copies that

can be duplicated. Based on approximately 15

experiments per subject area, the students le-

arn the methodology of experimentation and

familiarise themselves with the various sub-

ject areas in an application-oriented context.

Cobra4 phenomena of our everyday lives

Thanks to Cobra4, the examination of the eve-

ryday-life phenomena in up-to-date science

classes is no longer bound to a fixed location.

The Cobra4 measuring technology enables

measurements without disturbing cables and

is perfectly suitable for the location-indepen-

dent live execution of experiments on the

phenomena of our everyday lives in the hou-

sehold, outdoors, concerning hobbies, tech-

nology, and traffic. Field experiments are also

possible with Cobra4. The system opens up

completely new, unprecedented didactic me-

thods to convey scientific interrelations con-

vincingly and inspiringly with the aid of expe-

riments.

TESS renewable energy

Our TESS renewable energy system consists of

two matching experiment sets concerning the

field of energy and the use of regenerative

sources of energy. 45 experiments in the follo-

wing fields can be performed:

n Conversion of energy

n Storage of energy

n Solar radiation (solar thermal energy,

photovoltaics)

n Water power

n Wind power

n Geothermal energy/ambient heat

n Hydrogen technology/fuel cells

All of the experiments are integrated into the in-

novative e-learning platform interTESS. As a re-

sult, the experiments can be prepared and exe-

cuted with the aid of computers. This reduces

preparation time to a minimum and considerab-

ly facilitates the execution of student experi-

ments. In addition, the teacher can assess the

results rather quickly.

Applied sciences during laboratory project

courses or advanced graduation courses

The rapidly progressing development of mo-

dern technologies and their ever-increasing

integration into our everyday lives make it ne-

cessary to integrate knowledge and concepts

as early as possible into school classes. This is

why PHYWE also offers interdisciplinary experi-

ments for the secondary level II, laboratory

project courses, and advanced graduation

courses.

Food chemistry an example of

applied sciences

The field of nutrition and digestion is perfect

for including experiments with a direct relati-

on to our everyday life into the education of

students. This also underlines the rules for

healthy nutrition in an impressive manner.

The experiment units Food Chemistry inclu-

de a collection of 41 easy experiments concer-

ning the basic ingredients of food.

Applied Sciences

New technologies at universities with PHYWEs Applied Sciences

At the core of scientific education at univer-

sities are experiments that are performed by

professors and tutors during experiment-

based lectures or experiments that the stu-

dents can perform themselves in order to fa-

miliarise themselves with the natural

sciences. In the field of applied sciences,

PHYWE offers experiment set-ups for the

following subject areas:

n Food chemistry/polymer chemistry/

petrochemistry

n Renewable energy

n Environmental technology/supply of

drinking water

n Biotechnology/neurobiology

n Materials science

n Applied optics

n Applied thermodynamics

Solar collectors and heat pumps

The demonstration set-ups concerning heat

pumps and solar collectors combine the neces-

sary fundamental physical principles, such as

the conversion of energy and the greenhouse

effect, elegantly with the required technical

background, such as the determination of the

efficiency, the optimisation of systems, and

thermal insulation.

Fundamental principles of plasma

The laboratory experiment set-up concerning

plasma explains the fundamental physical

principles of plasma (Paschens law) and the

technical application of the plasma activation

of surfaces and the hydrophilisation of

plastics.

The set-up is easy to use and the expensive

and time-consuming use of a vacuum is not

necessary.
