How do you calculate the perfect flight curve of a football? What type of grass is used at football grounds and why? And how big is the environmental impact of football events like the European Football Championship? Football offers a great variety of questions and issues for your STEM classes: 20 teachers from 15 European countries developed twelve teaching units, presenting interesting experiments around football for biology, chemistry, computer sciences, maths and physics. From measuring the mass of the air inside the ball, to the influence of energy drinks on the players’ performance up to calculating the chance of scoring during a penalty shoot-out the brochure contains a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary challenges for secondary school students. The various teaching units encourage them to discover the natural scientific phenomena behind the popular game.

Smartphones are by now a fundamental piece of our everyday life. Especially young people are using the new technology quite naturally. That also is a big chance for STEM-classes. 20 teachers from 14 European countries worked out eleven teaching units that show how Smartphones and Apps are to be used for fascinating experiments in maths, physics, chemistry or biology classes. From the measuring of the universe to an examination of daily noise nuisance to speed measurement of cars: The trouser-pocket technology of Smartphones offers students and teachers alike many chances on inquiry-based learing. iStage 2 provides a unique summary of practical examples from all over Europe of how to integrate Smartphones in the daily classes. The brochure is the second publication of the iStage-series that deals with new digital media at STEM-classes and is proudly supported by SAP.

Simulations for environmental technologies, bioinformatics or mechanics: The teaching material iStage - ICT in science teaching shows how to connect information and communication technologies (ICT) with science education. About 20 teachers from 15 different countries worked together over one year to develop teaching materials for information and communication technologies (ICT) to be used in physics, biology and chemistry classes. The results have been published in print and online in German, English, French, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian and Slovenian as well as in an iBook. Find further the Hungarian Version as PDF below.
