NaWi – geht das? (NaWi - How does that work?)
How are ropes made? Why do icebergs swim? What can be used as invisible ink to make “ciphers“ readable only after heating the paper? Elementary school students will find the answers to these and many other questions from the world of natural science by “playing” with the NaWi experiment kit. The experiment kit contains a total of 46 experimental set-ups on the issues of air, water and foods to help teach up to 30 children per box all about the scientific background of these issues. This experiment kit was developed by the Institute of Didactics of Chemistry of Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt/Main and adapted to the curricula of all German federal states.

The Wissensfabrik (“knowledge factory)” is a platform with more than 70 German companies and foundations involved in the education of children of all ages and to support young entrepreneurs. In the field of elementary education, Wissensfabrik members cooperate with schools in their home region and work with local or regional education partners. The primary objective is arouse children’s interest in science and technology, and familiarize them with the world of work, but specific support for reading, writing, telling and arithmetic skills is also a central concern.
