Offers for schools

As part of the "Explain-OS" project, a research laboratory was converted into a learning laboratory with funding from the university and the university society. 25 workstations were established, offering unique opportunities to supplement biology lessons with practical scientific methods.

The Botanic Garden's educational facility "Green School", offers all school types and grade levels events on topics such as biodiversity, evolution, crops, climate change, and much more. Through the experience-oriented contact with the plants, scientific knowledge and the importance of biological diversity are conveyed in the sense of sustainable education.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an important model organism in biological research. The Zoology division provides so-called “FlyKits” for loan, which can be used to integrate the flies into school projects. These contain the necessary material, as well as experiment instructions, an image guide and video tutorials.
