­PHYWE school course for high-quality education

Education is the foundation for the future.

With the school course, ­PHYWE has established a segment that conveys the natural sciences at school in a particularly easy, clear, and exciting way. As in all of our other products, the experiment, i.e. the direct experience of science phenomena, is at the focus of interest, which is true to the motto that you will never forget what you have actually experienced and tried for yourself. Both teachers and pupils will benefit from ­­PHYWE’s school course: Our proven TESS experiment system with more than 800 possible experiments is the perfect example of a complete system solution that is “made by ­­PHYWE”. ­PHYWE’s school course was developed in close co-operation with teachers and lecturers in order to offer high-quality, robust materials and system solutions for science classes, while taking into account the teaching curricula. Nearly 100 years of experience and continuity in the development and production of natural science teaching materials in turn ensure the optimum preservation of value and protection of your investment. In addition, we can ensure that the school receives the exact system solution that it needs, thereby eliminating additional costs. ­PHYWE’s school course enables the supply of curriculum-adapted equipment, experiment descriptions, and perfectly matched components that were specifically developed for teaching requirements.

“do” and “show” are how the students will never forget what they have learned

­ HYWE offers proven teaching systems for stuP dents and demonstration experiments for science classes of all types of schools and age groups. The equipment, storage, and experiment literature are all ideally adapted to each other and enable the reliable and convincing conveyance of scientific relations with the additional advantage of reduced preparation times. Both systems are proven and have undergone continuous further development based on decades of experience in student and demonstration experiments. In addition, they have been adapted to the teaching curricula of secondary school levels I and II. The design of the various equipment parts enables the optimal combination of teacher and student experiments.

Apart from the printed literature, the computerbased literature interTESS offers numerous other advantages. It supports the safe use of PCs, allows students to work at their own speed, and facilitates the evaluation.

Everything is also well sorted in the new discipline “Applied Sciences” An overview of the subject areas that are covered by ­PHYWE is shown below.

TESS “do”

Demonstration experiments “show”

The teaching systems made by ­PHYWE are divided into four distinct categories. We offer curricula-adapted and demand-responsive standard and customised solutions for all of the classic natural sciences.

In order to meet the global trends in education up to interdisciplinary applications in the natural sciences, we have introduced a fourth science category at ­PHYWE: Applied Sciences.

Physics

We have also categorised the student experiment system TESS into different levels. The starting point is the interdisciplinary introduction of the natural sciences with TESS beginner.

The next higher levels for all of the relevant subject areas are the experiment sets TESS advanced for the secondary level I and II, and TESS expert for the highest school level at secondary schools.

Biology

The teaching systems for demonstration experiments are perfectly adapted to the TESS systems. They are combined in the following collection of experiments: Demonstration experiments for secondary level I Experiment units for certain subject areas

One system for EVERYTHING – Recording and analysing measurement data with our measure software The computer-assisted recording and analysis of the measurement data is becoming increasingly important for demonstration and student experiments. Numerous phenomena cannot be conveyed or presented without computer assistance. In addition, the execution and evaluation of the experiments are considerably simplified. In addition, complex subject matters of the highest level at secondary schools, such as atomic and nuclear physics can be conveyed much more efficiently and convincingly with the aid of computers. A large, ever-increasing number of experiments of P ­ HYWE’s school programme are computer-assisted. The central platform for the recording and analysis of measurement data is the measure software.

There are numerous experiments with devices and units that can be directly connected to the computer, such as, for example, the X-ray unit, the multi-channel analyser, or the pH meter.

Most of the experiments use the modular, wireless measurement data recording system Cobra4. The measure software is always used for capturing the data. Apart from the repre-

User advantages of measure n One software for all of the computer-assisted measurements

sentation and measurement features, measure also offers an extensive collection of tools for the analysis of data, the export and import of the data of other applications, and much more. In addition, measure offers particularly easy access to the experiment. The computerassisted experiments can be selected from the list of subjects. If desired, experiment descriptions, measurement settings, and example measurements can also be loaded.

Another member of the measure family is measure Dynamics, our automatic video analysis software that enables the easy analysis of 1- and 2-dimensional movements. The easy creation of trajectories and movement, velocity, and acceleration diagrams facilitates the comprehension of dynamic and kinematic processes.

The special features of measure Dynamics are the automatic detection and tracking of even several objects, the stroboscopic effect for complex motion sequences (flying hammer), the easy data transfer, and much more.

More information concerning the various topics can be found in our catalogues or at www.­PHYWE.com.

Measuring without limits in science classes with Cobra4

The use of Cobra4 offers new didactic opportunities to fill your students with enthusiasm for the natural sciences. Computer-assisted experiments can be performed together with the students regardless of the location of the PC – either in the classroom or during field trips. In addition, all of the experiments in the field of motion can be executed without any problems.

The design of the measurement software based on measure is so intuitive that even inexperienced users can use it reliably and safely. Apart from the wireless recording of measurement data with our Wireless-Link, our Wireless-Manager, or our Remote-Link, the Cobra4 family also enables cable-linked measurements with our USB-Link and mobile measurement with our hand-held measuring instrument Mobile-Link.

Numerous sensors can be connected to these basic units. Many of these sensors are multisensors that cover entire subject areas (chemistry, thermodynamics, electricity, and weather).

Combined with the power and capabilities of measure, Cobra 4 is ideally adapted to the most versatile applications in the natural sciences and technology at schools. You can

choose from a large number of experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. In addition, the category of everyday phenomena enables you to reach your students where their knowledge of scientific relations can be combined with practical applications.

We offer a large number of Cobra4 sets that are ideally adapted to your applications, from demon­stration experiments to student ex­periments (TESS). The hand-held measuring instrument Mobile-Link can be used for demon­ stration experiments without a PC. With an interconnected unit for wireless communication (Display-Connect), the data can be transmitted to one or several digital large-scale displays.

You can find more about Cobra4 in the Cobra4 brochure or at www.­PHYWE.com.

Experimentation case for ecological field experiments

Experimentation case “environment and field experiments” This case contains a class set for four workgroups that can perform their measurements independently from each other. The students measure with the robust and reliable MobileLink hand-held measuring instruments of the Cobra4 product range. Depending on the parameters to be measured, the various sensor units that are also included in the experimentation case are connected to the Mobile-Link units. The following parameters can be measured: air pressure, air humidity, air temperature, light intensity, altitude, pH, conductivity, and temperature.

The experiment literature with its 200 pages includes student worksheets with many selfexplaining drawings so that the students can be guided towards reliable findings and results.

Every experiment is complemented with a teacher sheet with numerous colour photos of the slide preparations as well as extensive tips and assistance, e. g. concerning the procurement of the examination material. With these documents, even teachers with limited experience in microscopy can hold microscopy courses.

The Cobra4 experimentation case is also available as a single set with one instead of four Mobile-Link units for measuring all of the eight parameters. You can use it in combination with the Cobra4 Display-Connect unit and the digital large-scale display as a demonstration system and transmit the measured values from the hand-held instrument to the large-scale display by radio. As a result, you can perform measurements anywhere in the classroom and your students will immediately see the results also without a computer.
