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.
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.
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.
The Earth's climate - we deal with it every day and it shapes our lives on the blue planet. But this system is highly complex. We use a fleet of satellites to record the smallest changes and keep an eye on the Earth's dynamics at all times. Climate research is vital - because only if we understand this data can we assess the future of our planet with global warming and its effects.
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.
You are probably familiar with the quartet cards that can be used to compare different vehicles according to technical figures.
This do-it-yourself Museum of Transport quartet takes pupils to various objects in the Museum of Transport and encourages them to explore technical data.
