Five workshops, five focal points
Learn all about geysers, volcanoes and other exciting topics in the learning world...
The Geysir expert team conducts exciting workshops with your students on various natural and geoscientific topics around the Geysir Andernach. Choose the workshop that suits your school class from five different topics:
(1) Hot and cold - geysers
How do hot and cold water geysers work? Is there a connection between geysers and volcanoes?
We explore with experiments what happens under the earth and let a cold water geyser erupt.
(2) Endogenous dynamics
Volcanoes and plate tectonics
or Lake Laach and the Eifel
Why and where are there volcanoes? How do they erupt? We demonstrate how magma rises from the earth's interior and which rocks are formed from it...
(3) Mineral water
What makes mineral water so special? Is the water of the Geysir Andernach healthy?
We make sparkling water, turn fresh water into salt water and explain where the minerals come from.
(4) Under pressure
Where can we experience pressure in everyday life? What is the difference between pressure and force?
With experiments on rock, water and air pressure, we clarify how pressure is created and why it is so important for the geyser.
(5) CO2 and climate
What gases does our atmosphere consist of? How does CO2 our climate?
In various experiments we look at the properties of air and the greenhouse effect.
