Knowledge

Knowledge is power – and sound knowledge is the basis of our teaching and learning materials and articels. They convey the teaching content, experiments or presentations that are made available to schools and initiatives in words and images. This saves time-consuming research or internet theft. The contributions are available for you to download in the form of presentations.

The “Knowledge” area and the “Teaching material” download area are divided into three levels:

LEVEL 1

School

Pupils should learn about topics relating to snow, ice and avalanches and gather knowledge. Here, teachers can find suggestions for topics and corresponding multimedia documents that can be ideally integrated into school lessons. The content is prepared in such a way that it arouses the interest of all children and young people and has the potential for intergenerational learning.

Learning content

  • Physical basics
  • Natural hazard avalanche
  • Weather
