fischertechnik STEM Fundamentals kits are optimized for practice-oriented work from the middle and high school level upwards. Each set is designed to address a specific, technical topic from the STEM field. Each kit contains an assortment of parts with which various models can be built and experiments conducted. The models are optimized for functionality and thus avoid long construction times. Ideally, two to four students can work with a kit at the same time.
Each set comes with access to downloadable instructional materials, including lesson plans and task sheets with educational plan reference. fischertechnik STEM Fundamentals kits are ideal for teaching STEM related concepts in both the classroom or homeschool environment.
Main topics Electrical circuits, resistors, measurement of current and voltage, principle of the electric motor, semiconductors, transistor circuits
Includes downloadable teaching and activity material (free download)
Components in this set include: XS motor, 2 push-button switches , 2 diodes, 2 transistors, 3 resistors, 2 capacitors, and a holder for 9V battery (battery not included).
Learn and understand the principles of Solar Power with the fischertechnik Education Solar: Beginner kit. Renewable energy sources will play an increasingly significant role in future. A solar module generates electricity from the energy of the sun to move the solar boats and the solar car. Whether on water or land, the construction set is a learning-by-playing approach to solar power.
fischertechnik Education Pneumatics: Beginner construction set takes a learning- by-playing approach to the principles of pneumatics, with realistic models to show how pneumatic valves and cylinders work. The air is pumped manually into an air chamber. Pressing the hand valves conveys the compressed air through the hoses into the pneumatic cylinder. An excavator and four other models can be constructed. The instructional activity information for students is available online at the fischertechnik eLearning portal.
