Energy Experience

Energy forms the basis of all means of transportation and traffic in order to get them moving at all. Man-made climate change is one of the greatest social challenges of our time. To counteract it, we need to rethink the way we provide and use energy.

Speed

At the Museum of Transport, we are surrounded by moving objects. Whether in the air, on water or on land - the speed of vehicles is crucial in order to cover a certain distance in a certain time. In these tasks, the pupils deal with calculation examples on the topic.

The Energy Hall will be modernised and redesigned by March 2026 - this may result in temporary restrictions on use. Our teaching material still refers to the old Energy Hall, so some of the content may differ slightly. You will find a corresponding note on the worksheets.

Constellations

The 88 constellations can be admired at the entrance to the planetarium. The enclosed sheets are intended as a supplement to the visit to the planetarium. The pupils learn about different constellations and can draw them in the starry sky themselves.

Lifting weights

Pupils can experience physics live in the ship, cable car and tourism hall. The rope hoist technology from Habegger, whose "Swiss Quality" technology is used in many ropeways, brings the physical laws of pulley blocks with pulleys to life.
