Leibniz JuniorLab - Primary School Visits


Do you want your pupils (4th grade) to have a real "crash" in class? Do your pupils want to get to know the fascination of science and experiment a little themselves? The Leibniz JuniorLab team will be happy to help you and will come to your class with the experiment bus!

WHAT IS THE LEIBNIZ JUNIOLAB?

We bring Experiment Trunks fromm various areas (optics, energy and technology) with which your students can carry out exciting scientific experiments independently.

They will also be expertly accompanied by a research assistant from the Leibniz University Hannover.


  • Special Education - “The big Race” (Grades 2-4)
    • “The big Race” is a book from the cooperation between the Institute of Special Education and a special research are of mechanical engineering (SFB 653). Throughout the school visit, the book will be presented.

    • The story is used to work on various problems/questions and to get to know materials. For example, various ways of marking and preventing counterfeits are discussed with the children. The children will also receive materials for building a small soapbox. 

  • Civil Engineering - Bridges and Artificial Lakes (starting from Grade 3)

    • In the Leibniz JuniorLab Civil Engineering does not only bridge the gaps to new knowledge, but also builds them very practically with wood. How this works particularly well and what bridges and artificial lakes have in common can be learned in this lab.

    • What does a civil engineer actually do? - The Leibniz JuniorLab Civil Engineering explores this question playfully and experimentally in three small subject areas - from spectacular buildings all over the world to huge artificial lakes and the Leonardo da Vinci Bridge.

    • The students are thus given a comprehensive overview of the activities of civil engineers. In addition, theoretical contents are explained in a playful way and illustrated with many examples, whereby the pupils themselves carry out several experiments.

  • Physics - Light and Lenses (starting from Grade 4)

    From lenses to space telescopes: Leibniz JuniorLab presents an exciting field of physics and, in addition to an interesting lecture, offers great experiments with light.

    Would you like to be a real researcher? That's possible! Learn exciting things about light, lenses, mirrors and prisms. How do rainbows form? What does a London skyscraper have in common with a satellite dish? Fascinating experiments and a captivating lecture will show the role physics plays in everyday life and what you can do with microscopes and telescopes.  

  • Mechanical Engineering - The Union of Nature and Technology (starting from Grade 4)

    • The union of nature and technology is the topic of the Leibniz JuniorLab Mechanical Engineering. They offer various colourful and exciting experiments with colours, wind and fire.

    • Would you like to further introduce your class to technology in an interesting way? Then you are at the right place! In our Leibniz JuniorLab Mechanical Engineering your students will gain insights into the life and learning at universities, dive into the world of bionics and chromatography and at the end there will also a small surprise.

  • Meteorology - Wind and Weather (starting from Grade 4)

    • The Leibniz JuniorLab Meteorology is about lightning, thunder and tornadoes and explains how weather arises and is researched. The Leibniz JuniorLab Meteorology is about the everyday topic weather.

    • How does a tornado arise? How do I behave correctly during a thunderstorm? An understanding of the different natural phenomena is given and how to deal with them is explained. Through descriptive experiments on tornadoes and clouds as well as the creative use of weather charts, the students are given an exciting insight into meteorology.

  • LeibnizLab - Offers for Grades 5 - 13

HOW CAN MY CLASS PARTICIPATE IN THE LEIBNIZ JUNIORLAB?

The Leibniz JuniorLab tours several times a week with the experiment bus through Hannover and its region to visit primary schools.

Interested people can register for the project and will then be informed about further details by e-mail by the project coordinator.

After registration, we will assign you a date, if available, and contact you to confirm the date. If you do not have time for this appointment, we will be happy to discuss this with you.

We are looking forward to visiting you and your class!
