Applied Sciences The scientific roots of technology
Applied sciences have been a part of the re-
pertory of physicists, chemists, and biologists
for a long time. Look at Peter Grnberg, for
example, who won the Nobel Prize in physics
for his discovery of the giant magnetoresis-
tance effect. This effect is the basis of modern
storage media and goes back to the famous
Stern-Gerlach experiment concerning the spin
polarisation of electrons.
The interlacing of scientific disciplines is often
a major factor for success. The distinction of
science in the classic fields of physics, che-
mistry, and biology is increasingly becoming
blurred and there is a strong trend towards
interdisciplinary and application-oriented le-
arning and teaching. This trend can also be
observed at schools and universities.
There are numerous new disciplines covering
attractive new subjects. For teaching and re-
search, this new area is an opportunity and a
challenge alike. It is no coincidence that com-
panies and institutes formulate a shared de-
mand: interdisciplinary education at schools
and universities for the optimum preparation
of the next generation of scientists.
In order to meet the global trends in educati-
on up to interdisciplinary applications in the
natural sciences, we have introduced a fourth
science category at PHYWE: Applied Sciences

Excellent products and solutions for schools and universities
PHYWE already covers many subject areas in
physics, chemistry, and biology with high-
quality solution systems and teaching mate-
rials. In addition, PHYWE also offers an exten-
sive range of products in the new discipline
applied sciences: approximately 100 experi-
ments and equipment sets for very young stu-
dents at school, all the way up to advanced
laboratory courses at universities. We also of-
fer customised solutions that are perfectly
adapted to the needs and curricula of our
customers.
Discover PHYWEs solution systems and, there-
by, a nearly unlimited variety and flexibility
for your classes and courses, combined with
the quality, service, and intrinsic value of a
global market leader made in Germany.

sities to convey scientific interrelations in a phenomena
based, applicationoriented, and integrated manner
Accompanying didactic
experiment literature
System solutions for science classes and courses were de
veloped in view of compliance with the relevant curricula
More than 100 experi
ments and equipment
sets
Support from the planning phase up to the installation
of the equipment and subsequent training
Absolutely robust and
safe to use
Applied Sciences
Natural sciences from the outset applied sciences at school
At school, there is a strong trend moving away
from lessons in the classic disciplines of phy-
sics, chemistry, and biology and moving to-
wards the interdisciplinary and phenomena-
based treatment of scientific content. In
Germany, for example, which is a global
trendsetter in education, the subject of natu-
ral sciences is increasingly replacing the indi-
vidual classic science subjects.
Starting point for natural sciences with
TESS beginner
PHYWE has developed student sets that are
specifically adapted to the requirements of in-
terdisciplinary classes as of the age of appro-
ximately 10 years. The following subject areas
are covered:
n Heat
n Water
n Senses
n Motion
n Light, air, and earth
n Current and magnets
TESS beginner sets include all of the required
equipment along with high-quality didactic
experiment descriptions as master copies that
can be duplicated. Based on approximately 15
experiments per subject area, the students le-
arn the methodology of experimentation and
familiarise themselves with the various sub-
ject areas in an application-oriented context.
Cobra4 phenomena of our everyday lives
Thanks to Cobra4, the examination of the eve-
ryday-life phenomena in up-to-date science
classes is no longer bound to a fixed location.
The Cobra4 measuring technology enables
measurements without disturbing cables and
is perfectly suitable for the location-indepen-
dent live execution of experiments on the
phenomena of our everyday lives in the hou-
sehold, outdoors, concerning hobbies, tech-
nology, and traffic. Field experiments are also
possible with Cobra4. The system opens up
completely new, unprecedented didactic me-
thods to convey scientific interrelations con-
vincingly and inspiringly with the aid of expe-
riments.

TESS renewable energy
Our TESS renewable energy system consists of
two matching experiment sets concerning the
field of energy and the use of regenerative
sources of energy. 45 experiments in the follo-
wing fields can be performed:
n Conversion of energy
n Storage of energy
n Solar radiation (solar thermal energy,
photovoltaics)
n Water power
n Wind power
n Geothermal energy/ambient heat
n Hydrogen technology/fuel cells
All of the experiments are integrated into the in-
novative e-learning platform interTESS. As a re-
sult, the experiments can be prepared and exe-
cuted with the aid of computers. This reduces
preparation time to a minimum and considerab-
ly facilitates the execution of student experi-
ments. In addition, the teacher can assess the
results rather quickly.
Applied sciences during laboratory project
courses or advanced graduation courses
The rapidly progressing development of mo-
dern technologies and their ever-increasing
integration into our everyday lives make it ne-
cessary to integrate knowledge and concepts
as early as possible into school classes. This is
why PHYWE also offers interdisciplinary experi-
ments for the secondary level II, laboratory
project courses, and advanced graduation
courses.
Food chemistry an example of
applied sciences
The field of nutrition and digestion is perfect
for including experiments with a direct relati-
on to our everyday life into the education of
students. This also underlines the rules for
healthy nutrition in an impressive manner.
The experiment units Food Chemistry inclu-
de a collection of 41 easy experiments concer-
ning the basic ingredients of food.
Applied Sciences
New technologies at universities with PHYWEs Applied Sciences
At the core of scientific education at univer-
sities are experiments that are performed by
professors and tutors during experiment-
based lectures or experiments that the stu-
dents can perform themselves in order to fa-
miliarise themselves with the natural
sciences. In the field of applied sciences,
PHYWE offers experiment set-ups for the
following subject areas:
n Food chemistry/polymer chemistry/
petrochemistry
n Renewable energy
n Environmental technology/supply of
drinking water
n Biotechnology/neurobiology
n Materials science
n Applied optics
n Applied thermodynamics
Solar collectors and heat pumps
The demonstration set-ups concerning heat
pumps and solar collectors combine the neces-
sary fundamental physical principles, such as
the conversion of energy and the greenhouse
effect, elegantly with the required technical
background, such as the determination of the
efficiency, the optimisation of systems, and
thermal insulation.
Fundamental principles of plasma
The laboratory experiment set-up concerning
plasma explains the fundamental physical
principles of plasma (Paschens law) and the
technical application of the plasma activation
of surfaces and the hydrophilisation of
plastics.
The set-up is easy to use and the expensive
and time-consuming use of a vacuum is not
necessary.
