The Climate Protection, Environmental and Safety Engineering (KUSI) course offers a series of laboratory experiments to introduce high school students to the topics of climate protection and environmental technology. The two areas are concerned with preserving our livelihoods through the use of technologies. The techniques used are very diverse. It's about the purification of wastewater, the desalination of water and gas solubility using the example of CO 2.
As part of the project "Climate protection and environmental technology for participation", the KUSI course of study briefly introduces itself in order to then use laboratory/field tests to convey selected subject areas of climate protection and environmental technology in an understandable and tangible way. For each experiment there is a short introduction, how the experiment was carried out and an evaluation.
Choose from the following two offers:
I. Experimental morning
9:00 a.m.: Lecture on climate protection, environmental and safety engineering / division into 3 groups
9:30 a.m.: Attempt 1 Water purification through flocculation (Your students do the flocculation experiment and measure pH and conductivity)
10:15 a.m.: Attempt 2 Desalination of water by reverse osmosis (Your students will analyze the hardness of different waters; you can bring your own water to determine the hardness)
11 a.m.: Attempt 3 Gas solubility using CO as an example2 (Your students measure the amount of gas in a dissolving tablet and learn about the influence of temperature on gas solubility)
11.45 Discussion with students.
12:00 p.m.: Meal in the cafeteria
II. Climate change biomonitoring with lichens
What are lichens and how can they be used as indicators of climate change? After an introduction, a small mapping exercise is carried out in the field and the lichens found are identified under the stereo microscope.
9:00 a.m.: Lecture on the climate protection, environmental and safety engineering course
9:30 a.m.: Introduction “What are lichens and how can they be used as indicators of climate change?”
10.15 a.m.: Mapping in the area (within walking distance of the THM)
11:00 a.m.: Microscopy and identification of lichens
11.40 a.m.: Evaluation and final meeting, if necessary discussion with students
12:00 p.m.: Meal in the cafeteria
