fischertechnik Home Education - STEM Pneumatics

Make the basics of pneumatics understandable and ensure lasting comprehension with 8 quickly buildable models and 29 exciting experiments for secondary schools. The time required for the task sheets is 45 to 90 minutes.

Learnings & Experiments:
- Regulation of the speed of movements via the throttling of the exhaust air
- Movement in different directions
- Different applications and types of valves
- Generating and distributing compressed air
- Controlling pneumatic cylinders

The first experiments with pneumatics were conducted in the third century B.C., and discovered the extreme versatility and usefulness of compressed air. Using 8 models and 29 experiments, STEM Pneumatics teaches the basic principles of pneumatics, and demonstrates the functioning of components like compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders, as well as an exhaust throttle valve. The concept also includes a full set of lesson plans for teachers.
