The graphic shows the three areas of the skin (epidermis, dermis, subcutis) and the receptors they contain for pain, sense of touch, cold, heat, and pressure. The receptors receive the external stimuli and forward them to the nervous system. The graphic can be labeled individually or as a whole.

If a stimulus is exerted on the skin (e.g., through touch or heat), the affected receptor immediately transfers an electrical impulse to the next nerve cell. In this way, the impulse travels across several nerve cells and finally reaches the spinal cord and then the brain, which ultimately processes the information. Three animations show the process of transmitting impulses in different degrees of detail.

One perspective presents AI as a dangerous machine that will replace humans, one views AI as a supermachine that will solve all problems, and one views AI as assistance that will support people.

The three most common scenarios are described: • AI will replace us: This negative perspective views artificial intelligence as a machine that will replace people. • AI will save us: In the positive perspective, AI is a supermachine that independently solves problems and makes people’s lives easier. • AI will support us: The experts’ perspective views AI as assistance to people in which people always retain control.

On banknotes there is a sign specially for blind people so that they can distinguish between the different denominations even without being able to see the notes.

With this exercise structured as a mind map, the students can deepen their knowledge about how they can protect rainforests. To do so, they match the word cards to the three levels of rainforest protection: • Level 1: Change consumer behavior • Level 2: Support environmental organizations • Level 3: Get involved in politics The matches can be evaluated by clicking the “Check button. Independently of this, the solution can be shown and hidden at any time without interfering with the status of the matching exercise.

The world population counter from worldometers clearly shows the increase in world population. The students will get a feeling for this tremendous number, which increases every second.

The biggest organ in the human body is the skin. A twelve-year-old has an amount of skin equivalent to about 20 A4 pages. The skin has several tasks: To begin with, to protect against external influences; it can heal itself in the event of minor injuries. And then it is responsible for touching and feeling. We can distinguish between six different sensations: touch, pressure, pain, tension, vibration and temperature. Information and ideas: What sorts of things can I feel? Here, it is a good idea to prepare a box full of materials which can be recognised by touching and feeling them.
