Our Work Shows

Extra-mural learning situations

A visit to the Odysseum is fun but also educational.
Our unique show conception which has been developed in cooperation with pedagogues, scientists and teaching psychologists presents to classes a cross-disciplinary mixture of workshop and show. Extra-mural learning situations offer you the ideal opportunity to realize lessons in a completely different way – this is a school excursion that your pupils will be enthused about!

It has never been so exciting to experiment!

The programs have to be booked a fortnight in advance. Booking is only possible in connection with a visit to the exhibition.

FRISCHE BRISE
FRESH BREEZE

Suitable for: 1st – 2nd class, daycare centers
School subject: Sachunterricht (general education)

Air is not nothing – although invisible, we are constantly surrounded by it. At the work show “Frische Brise” the pupils learn a lot about the element air. They discover the characteristics of air by means of exciting experiments and learn that air cannot only be felt but also be seen.

FEUER UND FLAMME
FIRE AND FLAME

Suitable for: 1st – 4^th class, daycare centers
School subject: Sachunterricht (general education)

Everyday life without fire is hard to imagine – it is fascinating and at the same time dangerous. How is it produced? And how can fire be “tamed”? By means of thrilling experiments on stage and in small groups the work show “Feuer und Flamme” gives the pupils an understanding of this element and the responsible use of it.

VOLLE POWER
ENERGY GENERATION

Suitable for: 1st – 5^th class
School subject: Sachunterricht (general education), physics

In Germany energy comes from the socket and is always available. But how does energy get into the socket? Although energy seems to be available to an unlimited extent, we have to economize it. At the work show “Volle Power” the pupils look into the secrets of energy and learn how to economize this valuable resource.

Reduced attendance fee for pupils living in the service area of RheinEnergie.

SCHALL UND RAUCH
SOUND AND SMOKE

Suitable for: 3rd – 4^th class
School subject: Sachunterricht (general education)

The work show “Schall und Rauch” imparts knowledge about the physical characteristics of sound by offering a mixture of hands-on and show experiments. How is sound produced, how does it spread and how does it feel? Some of the questions which are dealt with interactively.

LUFT-SCHLOSS
CASTLE IN THE AIR

Suitable for: 3rd – 4^th class
School subject: Sachunterricht (general education)

Air can be breathed but neither felt nor seen. However, it is everywhere. At the work show “Luft-Schloss” the pupils look into the element air and find out by means of exciting hands-on experiments that air is not at all nothing. The way it can be made visible is only one of the surprises waiting for the kids.

UNPLUGGED

Suitable for: 5th – 6^th class
School subject: music, physics

“Unplugged” means music produced entirely without electricity. By means of impressive experiments the pupils learn why, although “unplugged”, music can still be heard, how sound spreads and above all what it feels like. Probably acoustic guitar music comes into mind, but you are mistaken: the instruments used have not been seen before by your pupils.

SCHAUMFABRIK
FOAM FACTORY

Suitable for: 7^th – 8^th class
School subject: chemistry, physics

Foam – the underestimated mixture of materials. The work show “Schaumfabrik” shows that foam is not a boring filling but a multi-functional mixture of materials. What is it made of? Where do we come across foam and where is it particularly useful? These are the questions that will be answered by means of creative hands-on experiments.

VOLLE
LADUNG ENERGY GENERATION

Duration: approximately 30 minutes
Suitable for: 1^st – 4^th class
Fee: € 50,00 per show

Electricity is as important for our daily life as the air we breathe. Without electricity we would not be able to use our electric equipment and in order to communicate we would have to go back to stagecoaches and smoke signals. At the science show “Volle Ladung” the pupils learn what electricity is made up of and how it “works”. Brave kids can even have themselves energized!
