Water is part of the everyday world of every single person. The outstanding importance of water for life on earth is demonstrated to students particularly effectively by examining the physical and chemical properties of this substance. The physical properties of water are dealt with in both physics and chemistry teaching at grade 8 and 9. In physics teaching a focal point is on the thermodynamic properties of water. Chemistry teaching deals predominantly with the atomic structure of water molecules and the resulting chemical properties. The molecular structure in particular provides an explanation of the in some respects anomalous physical properties of water, for which reason the topic is ideally suited for cross-curricular teaching. The media package provides several media files (charts, simulations, experimentation instructions, information sheets, a worksheet and a guideline for teachers) to support you in this real-world-oriented teaching!
The content package for interactive whiteboards on the structure of the ear can be used as an introduction or supplement to biology teaching. It contains selected media such as interactive graphics, exercises, worksheets, and links. The individual interactive media can be shown in minimum or extended versions. This enables the media to be selected individually to suit teachers’ own teaching concept and the grade level. The content package is laid out simply and is intuitive to use, so that it can be used directly in the classroom. In addition to the content package for interactive whiteboards, this media package also contains the media that are integrated in the content package as individual media, so that they can also be used by teachers for other purposes. A teaching method for using the content package and guidelines presenting the individual media in context complete the media package.
At the beginning of the 21st century, energy saving has become a topic of global significance in view of the scarcity of resources and climate change. This media package is a themed compilation of several media files for use in the class with which you can deal particularly with the topic of everyday energy saving. The media package comprises several overview graphics with data on energy consumption and energy saving tips. Two interactive information modules on topics such as energy saving light bulbs explain modern energy-saving concepts. Apart from several teaching and project ideas on energy saving in various areas (household, lighting, transportation and school) the package also contains a student experiment for identifying “electricity hogs. These media are suitable for use in science and technology lessons as well as for economics instruction.
The media package developed by iRights.Lab elaborates the important topic of big data very extensively and repeatedly refers back to the students’ everyday reality. It is divided into three parts: • Part A – Introduction • Part B – Practical examples • Part C – Opportunities and challenges Part A lays the foundations, defines and explains the term “big data”, touches upon examples, and names opportunities and challenges. Part B provides examples of how big data works in practice. The examples are visualized graphically and are each explained in information sheets. Part C goes more in-depth. Key opportunities and challenges are mentioned and substantiated. The text also covers the duties of companies, the government, and society and those of each and every individual. The class should venture a look to the future. Parts A and B are suitable starting from grade 7, while the media from part C are suitable starting from grade 10. The media are geared to the strategy of the Kultusministerkonferenz (German Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs) on “Education in the digital world”. Depending on the curriculum, they are especially suitable for the subjects of information technology, engineering, civics and politics, and ethics.
The teaching unit is suitable for the subject of geography in grades 5–7. It is split into three teaching sequences (guideline: 7 class periods), which gives the teacher the opportunity to adapt the contents based on the class level. The water cycle topic is partly a review from elementary school. Some materials in this teaching unit, especially the animation and the worksheet, are also suitable for elementary school. The wide variety of media in this media package (graphics, interactive information modules and animations, information sheets, experimentation instructions, a worksheet, and a project idea) support you in real-world-oriented teaching. The time division of the teaching periods and the use of the media are outlined in teaching methods for the teacher.
The media package developed by iRights.Lab explains what is meant by the term “artificial intelligence”. It looks at various scenarios, the state of the art, as well as opportunities and challenges. It makes frequent reference to the students’ everyday reality. The media package is divided into three parts: • Part A – Introduction • Part B – Practical examples • Part C – Opportunities and challenges Part A provides an overview and an introduction and explains the term AI in more detail. Part B deals with the topic more specifically by reinforcing the learned material based on practical examples. Part C goes more in-depth. Parts A and B are suitable starting from grade 7, while the media from part C are suitable starting from grade 10. The media are geared to the strategy of the Kultusministerkonferenz (German Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs) on “Education in the digital world”. Depending on the curriculum, they are especially suitable for the subjects of information technology, engineering, civics and politics, and ethics. The media package also contains the comic “We need to talk, AI.” by Dr. Julia Schneider and Lena Kadriye Ziyal.
The goal of the “Algorithms in our everyday lives” media package developed by iRights.Lab is to provide students with a general understanding of algorithms and algorithmic systems as well as their development and their impacts on society. After all, in everyday life we constantly encounter algorithms that operate within software (algorithmic systems) without being able to recognize this fact at first glance. For people to be able to confidently navigate the digitalized world, an understanding of algorithms and the mode of operation of algorithmic systems is crucial. The media package is divided into three parts: • Introduction • Practical examples • Opportunities and challenges The first two parts are suitable starting from grade 7. The content, tasks, and correlations of the “opportunities and challenges” part are more complex and require corresponding cognitive abilities. In addition, they increasingly establish social and political correlations. For this reason, this part is also suitable starting from grade 10 in the subjects of ethics and civics and politics.
