Continuation with "Research with air"

The premiere for educational professionals from daycare centers and after-school care centers as well as teachers from elementary school in March was a success. The second workshop of the new cooperation between the Volkshochschule and the "Kinder forschen" foundation will start on June 26. Under the title "Researching with air", the specialists can take away ideas.

Air is surprisingly versatile: it blows, whistles and propels, it carries and pushes, it transports and lets things fly.
