Learning
Why does a ball always fall to the ground? What are gummy bears made of? And how do you track down the culprit with DNA analysis? Find out – in our eight laboratories and our experimental kitchen.
School classes and kindergarten groups can immerse themselves in the world of science and do their own research in over 60 different courses under expert guidance. The courses cover many topics of the Baden-Württemberg education plans.
How does it work? Explore it yourself in our courses.
The best learning is through doing something yourself. That’s why exciting experiments are central in our eight laboratories and our test kitchen. In over 2,500 square meters, kindergarten groups and school classes will find everything they need.
Kindergarten
What is magnetic? How does a plant drink water? The courses for kindergarten and preschool children focus on the children’s everyday lives. There they can playfully explore how the world functions.
Primary school
Children want to get to know the world. In our courses for grades 1 to 4 they can get to the bottom of things. There they can make salt crystals, for example, or research the sense of taste.
Secondary level I
From virus detection to the study of global warming: for the secondary school level I, we offer several different laboratory courses. In all of them the focus is on experiencing, understanding, and researching.
Secondary level II
Courses for the secondary school level II address more advanced subjects in the natural sciences. For example, young people research how to produce aspirin or how a CT functions.

Insight into the course labs
The Robert Mayer Laboratory houses the field of physics and offers space for up to 32 students in grades 5 to 13. The lab is equipped to investigate virtually all themes in physics relevant to the curriculum. A special feature: Using RGB lighting, the room can be immersed in colored light by mixing the primary light colors of red, green, and blue.
In 100 square meters, the Wilhelm Maybach Laboratory offers students in grades 5 to 10 virtually everything for the field of technology that is in the school curriculum. The laboratory is designed for working in small groups and, among other things, has a laser cutter and a 3-D printer.
The Konrad Zuse Laboratory offers 32 workspaces with powerful computers. All participants can work on their own individual PCs. One of the lab’s main subject areas is geoinformatics, but astronomical date can also be processed. The course leader can oversee and influence the workstations from a central PC.
In the Archimedes Laboratory children from three to six can discover the world. They delve in at carefully selected and thoughtfully designed stations at their own pace and find out, for example, how magnetism functions. Our educational assistants’ support for the children is characterized by a nuanced variety and respect.
Student Research Center
In the sfz Student Research Centre there are eight well-equipped laboratories. There students can realize their own ideas – even long-term projects.
They are supported by experimenta’s course leaders, delegated educators, and student teachers.
Offerings for educators
We want to support educators in their work.
That is why we have put together separate offerings for them that range from getting to know experimenta on their own to a day at experimenta together with their colleagues.
SciDay
Science for all – simply explained
SciDay is a series of scientific lectures for anyone 14 and older. The changing themes are varied and range from astronomy to biology, chemistry, and physics, up to computer science. For these we regularly invite experts from renowned universities and research institutions. Audience members can experience a university lecture live for themselves. If there are questions after the roughly hour-long lectures, at the end audience members can exchange ideas with the speakers about current research projects, choice of a field of study, and life as a scientist.
Girls’Day College
Offers for schoolgirls in the 10th grade
Go on a search for radioactivity in everyday life or develop your communication skills. The courses for this and many others are available at Girls’ Day College.
The series of events is aimed at all 10th grade schoolgirls who are enthusiastic about STEM topics.
Creative competition
for young STEM talents
Developing ideas, doing research in a team, and competing against others: experimenta makes many STEM competitions possible for children and teens. The range extends from Lego robots programmed by the students themselves to research projects in the laboratory.
