STEM Kits for Middle & High School
STEM KITS
fischertechnik STEM kits are optimized for practice-oriented work from the middle and high school level upwards. Each set is designed to address a specific, technical topic from the STEM field.
Each kit contains a set of parts with which various models can be built and experiments conducted. The models are optimized for functionality and thus avoid long construction times. Ideally, two to four students can work with a kit at the same time.
Accompanied by the didactic concept including lesson plans and task sheets with educational plan reference, the STEM kits are ideal for teaching.

fischertechnik STEM Pneumatics
Make the basics of pneumatics understandable and ensure lasting comprehension!
The first experiments with pneumatics were conducted in the third century B.C., and discovered the extreme versatility and usefulness of compressed air. Using 8 models and 29 experiments, STEM Pneumatics teaches the basic principles of pneumatics, and demonstrates the functioning of components like compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders, as well as an exhaust throttle valve.
The concept also includes a full set of lesson plans for teachers.

fischertechnik STEM Renewable Energies
Make the basics of renewable energies understandable and ensure lasting comprehension!
How is environmentally-friendly power generated? How does a fuel cell work, and how can you use it to produce hydrogen? Renewable energy sources will become the most important sources of energy in the future. Nine models and 28 experiments are used to demonstrate the production, storage and use of electricity from natural sources like water, wind and solar power. Powerful solar models can be attached in different ways for versatile use in the models. The included Gold Cap serves as an energy storage system, and can output stored energy. The fuel cell clearly demonstrates how water is split into the two components hydrogen and oxygen. This teaches children about future energy sources and helps them learn important skills. A full set of lesson plans helps teachers use the STEM Renewable Energies set in the classroom.

STEM Simple Machines Advanced
Discovering physical laws at secondary level
There is a whole range of physical laws inside this construction kit. STEM Simple Machines covers the topics on which the various tools and machines are based (rope and bar, lever, pulley, and inclined plane). But we don’t just get to explore complex mechanical functions like those of a pendulum clock or a differential gear – we also examine exciting models from our pupils‘ everyday lives in great detail and give them those eureka moments! The mechanics of a screw clamp and a pulley is just one example of the mechanical functions that we explore. We will be able to measure and check the results of the practical experiments with the help of the spring balance included in the kit.
STEM Statics Advanced
Statics for the secondary level
Why is a triangle so important to the world of statics? Where do we encounter this everywhere in everyday life? These and other statics principles will be explored in a simple and clear way using fischertechnik's STEM Statics Advanced and practical model examples. We will explore topics such as compressive and tensile forces, and statics and forces in the equilibrium. We will be able to measure and check the results of the practical experiments with the help of the spring balance included in the kit. Pupils will have fun and discover the spirit of discovery as they internalise physical ways of thinking and working, and consolidate what they have learned in the long term.
