With the help of the worksheet, learners engage with a film in a structured way in order to develop a deeper understanding and to reflect on and transfer what they have seen.

Contents and methods: 

The worksheet is structured like a brochure and asks questions about the content and further questions about the film. The worksheet ends with a personal evaluation of the film.

Skills:

• Concentrated extraction of information from a visual medium
• Analysis, reflection and transfer of film content

Target group and level:

Grade 7 and above

 

With the help of the worksheet, learners engage with the content of a film in a structured manner before, during and after viewing it in order to develop a deeper understanding and to reflect on and transfer what they have seen.

Content and methods: 

The worksheet begins by testing prior knowledge of the film. While watching, the pupils complete multiple-choice tasks to actively engage with and consolidate their understanding. After the film, transfer tasks are used for further processing and reflection on the topic.

Skills:

• Activating and building on prior knowledge
• Concentrated extraction of information from a visual medium
• Analysis, reflection and transfer of film content

Target group and level:

Grade 7 and above

Students learn to analyze information from various digital sources and link it logically in order to draw conclusions.

Content and Methodology: The worksheet offers an interactive puzzle task based around a found smartphone. The students analyze chat histories, pictures and an audio file to identify the owner of the smartphone.

Skills:

• Critical analysis of texts and media
• Logical thinking and reasoning
• Understanding historical and/or scientific contexts

Target Audience and Level: Suitable for teaching at lower secondary level.

This worksheet aims to introduce students to one specific solar system, focusing on its unique characteristics and the potential for extraterrestrial life, thereby expanding their understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.

Content and methods: The worksheet provides a detailed text about one specific solar system, including information about its stars and its planets. It uses multiple-choice questions to assess reading comprehension and requires students to provide descriptive answers based on the text. The worksheet also incorporates an audio component for an immersive learning experience.

Competencies:

• Reading comprehension
• Understanding of astronomical concepts
• Analytical thinking
• Evaluation of scientific information

Target group: 8th-10th grade

This worksheet aims to teach students about a selected topic from the field of astronomy.

Content and methods: The worksheet introduces the selected topic with a brief text. It uses true/false questions to test reading comprehension and a fictional interview with a famous astrophysicist to provide more context on the history of research and current scientific questions. The final section prompts students to explain concepts and summarize information from the interview.

Competencies:

• Reading comprehension
• Recalling and summarizing key information
• Analysis and critical thinking

Target group: 5-12th grade

This worksheet aims to familiarize students with the planets in our solar system, focusing on their order, relative sizes, and key characteristics.

Content and methods: The worksheet begins by prompting students to order the planets shown in an image. This is followed by a task to sort a list of planet names by size and distance from the Sun. The core of the content is a detailed text about one selected planet, covering its size, composition, atmosphere, position in the solar system, moons, rings, and habitability. Students are then required to fill out a profile for the planet based on the provided text, summarizing these characteristics. Finally, a mnemonic device is provided to help students remember the order of the planets.

Competencies:

• Knowledge of the solar system (planet order, names, characteristics)
• Reading comprehension
• Information extraction and summarization
• Memory skills (using mnemonic devices)

Target group: 4th-7th grade
