Objective: The glossary serves to systematically document terminology and knowledge in this subject area. The goal is to foster a solid understanding of key technical terms and to develop the ability to apply them in professional contexts and visually connect them.

Content and Methods: The content is conveyed through precise definitions and the application of that knowledge: First, key technical terms are explored. Learners then deepen their understanding by visually representing relationships in a concept map and by independently writing a text using technical terminology that incorporates the terms they have learned.

Competencies:

• Subject-matter expertise: Proficient use of chemical nomenclature and understanding
• Methodological skills: Ability to organize complex information using concept maps
• Language skills: Writing texts that are linguistically accurate in technical terms to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the subject matter

Target audience and level: Grades 7 and above

Objective: This worksheet uses a fictional criminal case to introduce students to the basics of nuclear chemistry and atomic structure in a playful way. Students examine β⁻ decay using the example of an isotope and learn to quantitatively determine atomic composition and radioactive decay processes based on atomic and mass numbers.

Content and Methods: The material is taught by combining contextual learning, tabular particle analyses, and mathematical methods for describing radioactive processes. The starting point is a fictional case file in which a laboratory investigation is used to develop fundamental questions about nuclear transformations and radiation. Building on this, the isotopes are analyzed in terms of their proton, neutron, and electron counts, and nuclear reaction equations and the principle of β⁻ decay are explored. This is supplemented by a quantitative evaluation of radioactive decay using half-life calculations to determine residual amounts and sample age, before students assess their understanding in a short, summary exit ticket.

Competencies:

• Subject-specific competence: Distinguishing between basic physical and chemical concepts (isotope, atomic number, mass number) and classifying nuclear transformations
• Scientific inquiry: Mathematical modeling of decay processes using half-life functions and deriving nuclear reaction equations
• Communication and Explanation Skills: Simplifying complex atomic processes to suit the audience

Target Audience and Level: Middle School

Objective: The worksheet is structured as a motivating chemistry puzzle (based on the escape room concept). Students assist a professor in the lab in deciphering the mixed-up labels of three unknown liquids/substances (samples A, B, and C) using systematic, experimental identification tests.

Content and Methods: The activity combines theoretical preliminary considerations, experimental analysis, and cooperative quality assurance to investigate various classes of substances in aqueous solution. Students compare solutions/substances, formulate hypotheses about particle behavior, and analyze the samples through experiments. The results are reviewed as part of a peer-review process and subsequently theoretically justified through transfer tasks at the particle level.

Competencies:

• Subject-specific competence: Applying knowledge of substance properties to identify unknown substances
• Knowledge Acquisition: Independently sketching and labeling experimental setups, as well as implementing a qualitative analysis strategy
• Media Competence: Approaching scientific problems
• Language Competence: Formulating a logically consistent detective report using specialized chemical terminology

Target Audience and Level: High school

Objective: The worksheet is structured as a motivating chemistry puzzle (based on the escape room concept). Students assist a professor in the lab in deciphering the mixed-up labels of three unknown liquids (samples A, B, and C) using systematic, experimental identification tests.

Content and Methods: The content is conveyed by combining a digital problem-solving task with qualitative identification experiments: Guided by an audio guide, students gather relevant information and examine the unknown liquids for their solubility, acid-base and redox behavior, and evaporation properties. The results are systematically documented in a lab report and subsequently used to identify the substances in a scientifically grounded final report.

Competencies:

• Subject-Specific Competence: Applying knowledge of material properties (solubility, pH, acid-metal reaction) to identify unknown substances.
• Knowledge Acquisition: Independently sketching and labeling experimental setups, as well as implementing a qualitative analysis strategy.
• Media Competence: Using digital learning elements (QR codes/audio) to approach science-related problems.
• Language Competence: Writing a logically consistent detective report using specialized chemical terminology.

Target Audience and Level: Middle School

The worksheet aims to provide students with a fundamental understanding of a specific theory within the field. Students are expected to grasp the theory's core assumptions, contextualize technical terms, and recognize the significance of theoretical explanatory approaches for analyzing, interpreting, and reflecting on subject-specific contexts.

Content and Methods:

The focus is on the core idea of ​​the respective theory, key technical terms, and important theorists, as well as their relevance to understanding subject-specific phenomena, processes, or practical situations. Methodologically, the worksheet combines image analysis, hypothesis generation, work with texts, structuring information via a study card, subject-specific review through a terminology puzzle, and a final self-assessment.

Competencies:

• Acquiring specialized knowledge regarding theoretical explanatory approaches and applying key terms
• Extracting, highlighting, and structuring information from a foundational text
• Explaining theoretical content in one's own words
• Verifying initial hypotheses and refining them using subject-specific terminology
• Reflecting on and assessing one's own learning progress

Target Group and Level:

Students or trainees in the field of social pedagogy, particularly aspiring educators. The level of difficulty ranges from basic to intermediate.

The aim is to systematically explore Shakespeare’s dramatic texts. Learners will be enabled to objectively deconstruct language, structure and cultural contexts, and to critically reflect on the tension between the historical text and modern performance.

Content and Methods: The worksheet guides students through an analytical process ranging from grasping the content to envisioning a practical stage performance.

Methods:

• Structural classification: Locating scenes within the classical dramatic structure (e.g., exposition, peripeteia).
• Analysis of language and form: Examining blank verse vs. prose, imagery, and rhetorical devices (e.g., stichomythia).
• Thematic exploration: Linking scenes to universal motifs (power, fate, guilt).

Transfer: A choice between a performance critique (directorial concept/stage design) or a critical discussion on human archetypes. The primary texts for this exercise are sourced from Project Gutenberg.

Competencies:

• Literary analysis skills: Confident handling of genre-specific characteristics and technical terms used in drama analysis.
• Methodological skills: Application of categories from literary and theatre studies to decode the text.
• Transfer and creative skills: Projecting historical material onto modern staging concepts and contemporary social issues.
• Language awareness: Developing sensitivity to the impact of meter and figurative language.

Target Audience and Level: Advanced English course
