Abstract
The «Berzelius project» is an interdisciplinary science education approach offering an outstanding, borrowable high-tech instrument park and dedicated theme-oriented multimedia laboratory journals (MLJs). A team of highly skilled science educators elaborates these MLJs using podcasts, videos and audios to get students hands on the lendable high-tech instruments that are generally far beyond school reach.
The combination of instruments and MLJs similarly aims at fueling students’ sense of wonder and excitement, demonstrating straightforward scientific concepts and theories and at developing science, data and media literacy. By arousing students` ability to question scientific topics in big data context, «Berzelius» is an invaluable product in modern and progressive science education. The MLJs are full to the brim with selctable digressions from literature, philosophy, art and other related areas, so that the multimedia experience can be tailored to specific school needs. Particularly in times of crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, our mmedia approach proved highly suitable for distance (e-)learning, as experienced at several SATW's Digital TecDays.
last but not least, highly skilled students have the possibility to express their experimental findings in MLJs similarly enhancing their communicative skills and thus preparing them for picking up later science careers.
In this interactive dialogue session, participants cruise through defined parts of «Berzelius’» multimedia presentations for subsequent hand-on experience on some selected high-tech instruments such as spectrometers, photometers, chromatographs, etc.
