Big News: Our Science Education App is now live! 🎉
Science App – Experiencing Scientific Thinking
The Science App is an interactive learning tool for teenagers that demonstrates how scientific research works. Based on five real-world research questions, learners are guided step by step through the full scientific inquiry process.
For each question, students select hypotheses, design experiments, and draw conclusions. In doing so, they learn what makes a good hypothesis, how to plan meaningful experiments, and how to interpret results correctly.
With direct feedback, sample graphs, and clear help texts, the app conveys scientific thinking in an accessible and practical way.

An engaging teaching module on lake stratification, featuring a video lesson and accompanying materials — developed jointly by our team researcher Laura and teacher Sarah as part of the EGU Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme.
The materials make complex concepts such as temperature gradients, oxygen layers, and aquatic habitats easy to understand and are an excellent resource for science education in the classroom.

- Go Science: From Question to Answer – Discover Science Through Play!
A new card game for young researchers aged 8 and up!
How does a simple question turn into a scientific discovery? With our Quartet: Go Science “From Question to Answer,” kids learn playfully how real research works—step by step, logically, and with lots of fun!
Our Quartet guides children through the four classic steps of research:
1. Ask a question
2. Formulate a hypothesis
3. Conduct an experiment
4. Draw a conclusion

How does it work? One Quartet = one research process: Players collect cards that illustrate the four steps of a research question. The everyday examples make it easy to understand the scientific process.
The Quartet is available as a free Print&Play download: In German:
Forschungs-Quartett
In English:

Just print double-sided, cut out, and start playing!
