We are in the process of compiling a collection of quality-assured materials for “science education”:
Our educational materials from the INSE project, tailored for different grade levels:
Teaching materials for primary school level “The forest of the future” (German only): Der Wald der Zukunft-Unterrichtsmaterialien für die Primarstufe
Teaching materials for lower and upper secondary levels (Sekundarstufe I and II) will follow shortly!
Go Science: From Question to Answer – Discover Science Through Play!
A new card game for young researchers aged 8 and up!
How does a simple question turn into a scientific discovery? With our Quartet: Go Science “From Question to Answer,” kids learn playfully how real research works—step by step, logically, and with lots of fun!
Our Quartet guides children through the four classic steps of research:
- Ask a question
- Formulate a hypothesis
- Conduct an experiment
- Draw a conclusion
How does it work? One Quartet = one research process: Players collect cards that illustrate the four steps of a research question. The everyday examples make it easy to understand the scientific process.
The Quartet is available as a free Print&Play download: In German:

Just print double-sided, cut out, and start playing!
