Electric cube

As a researcher in primary school science class, students will investigate and learn about electricity.

The electric cube is the perfect combination of fun and knowledge to convey in a clear, safe and child-friendly way how exciting physics can be.

5 Experiments for Independent Research in the 3rd and 4th Grades

The 5 experiments are suitable for the experimental investigation of electrical circuits as part of the lesson sequence on the topic of materials and energy in social studies. No prior knowledge of current and electricity in general is required.

 

All experiments are included in four versions and can be quickly and easily assigned to the appropriate experiments thanks to the color scheme of the individual modules. The transparent housings of the individual modules make the experiments particularly clear and increase the students' enthusiasm for experimentation. All utensils are easy to store in the cube and can therefore be set up and dismantled quickly.

 

The practical cube stool in which the experiments are stored also fits visually into the students' learning environment as a piece of furniture. The plain and the simple shape give the electrical components so much space offering safe and independent exploration. The individual components are easy to understand and can be used without any concerns.

 

Due to its stable and robust construction and intuitive operation, the cube is particularly suitable for use in primary schools. Thanks to the cube's modern and wireless charging system, the research set can be used in class at any time and without a long lead time. The charging system can also be expanded to include a photovoltaic module in order to experience various methods of generating electricity.

Optimal tilt angle between module and light source

Learning objective

Optimal alignment of photovoltaic modules in theory and practice.

 

Description

In this experiment, two angles, 𝑎 and 𝛾, are investigated using a movable solar module. The aim is to determine the values of 𝑎 and 𝛾 at which the module delivers the greatest power.
