Focus:- Impetus on the social, sporting, media and vocational level? - permanent competency development?

Selected results: - improvement in the class atmosphere - social competencies evolved

- crucial: the better the link between outdoor and multimedia – the more sustainable the effects

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

Finding teams & themes

Collecting & research

 Processing & structuring

 Producing & testing

 Presenting & reflecting

Example for a topic along the question:„When does one slide from a mountain slope?“

A mountain climber wearing shoes with rubber soles mounts a snow covered mountain. The question is: at what angle does he slip down if these shoes are his only outfit?

Fun & ski with chemistry

We link experiences on the alpine mountainside with specialised learning in the area of chemistry along the guiding theme of “states of aggregation of water”

• Joule-Thomson effect: How does a snow cannon work?

 • (Re)sublimation: How does white frost evolve?

 • Colligative qualities: Why do we spread salt on icy

roads? What disadvantages does this have for the environment?

• Pressure dependence on the state of aggregation: Such as: Why does it take longer to boil an egg in the mountains than at home?
