Applied ­Sciences –
The scientific roots of technology
Applied sciences have been a part of the repertory of physicists, chemists, and biologists
for a long time. Look at Peter Grünberg, for
example, who won the Nobel Prize in physics
for his discovery of the giant magnetoresistance 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, chemistry, and biology is increasingly becoming
blurred and there is a strong trend towards
interdisciplinary and application-oriented learning and teaching. This trend can also be
observed at schools and universities.
Applied Sciences
There are numerous new disciplines covering
attractive new subjects. For teaching and research, this new area is an opportunity and a
challenge alike. It is no coincidence that companies and institutes formulate a shared demand: interdisciplinary education at schools
and universities for the optimum preparation
of the next generation of scientists.
In order to meet the global trends in education 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 highquality solution systems and teaching materials. In addition, PHYWE also offers an extensive range of products in the new discipline
applied sciences: approximately 100 experiments and equipment sets for very young students at school, all the way up to advanced
laboratory courses at universities. We also offer customised solutions that are perfectly
adapted to the needs and curricula of our
customers.
Discover PHYWE’s solution systems and, thereby, 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.

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 physics, chemistry, and biology and moving towards the interdisciplinary and phenomenabased treatment of scientific content. In
Germany, for example, which is a global
trendsetter in education, the subject of natural sciences is increasingly replacing the individual classic science subjects.
Cobra4 – phenomena of our everyday lives
Thanks to Cobra4, the examination of the everyday-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

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 learn the methodology of experimentation and
familiarise themselves with the various subject areas in an application-oriented context.

Applied sciences during laboratory project
courses or advanced graduation courses
The rapidly progressing development of modern technologies and their ever-increasing
integration into our everyday lives make it necessary to integrate knowledge and concepts
as early as possible into school classes. This is
why PHYWE also offers interdisciplinary experiments for the secondary level II, laboratory
project courses, and advanced graduation
courses.

New technologies at universities –
with PHYWE’s Applied Sciences
At the core of scientific education at universities are experiments that are performed by
professors and tutors during experimentbased lectures or experiments that the students can perform themselves in order to familiarise themselves with the natural
sciences. In the field of applied sciences,
PHYWE offers experiment set-ups for the
following subject areas:
Solar collectors and heat pumps
nFood
Fundamental principles of plasma
chemistry/polymer chemistry/
petrochemistry
nRenewable
energy
nEnvironmental
technology/supply of
drinking water
nBiotechnology/neurobiology
nMaterials
science
nApplied
optics
nApplied
thermodynamics
Applied Sciences
The demonstration set-ups concerning heat
pumps and solar collectors combine the necessary 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.
The laboratory experiment set-up concerning
plasma explains the fundamental physical
principles of plasma (Paschen’s 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.
