EXPlainistry

As students* regularly communicate with digital devices and document experiences in their social and personal lives, this behavior could be used to record and reinforce learning experiences, such as visualizing reactions at the molecular level in chemistry class, but also in the student lab. An example of this is the creation of stop-motion videos to support the visualization process when explaining experiments. This approach uses established techniques for representation (e.g., static models or images) and combines them with dynamic approaches (e.g., animations) to enhance the explanation of scientific phenomena. This approach can be used to extend teaching and learning in the student lab with the EXPlainistry (Experiments explained in Chemistry) method.

Mankind is on the brink of the abyss. The Obliviscatur virus has broken out. It is highly contagious, so that half of humanity is already affected. The virus makes people forget everything they have ever learned or not learned. A small group of researchers at Saarland University has succeeded in developing an antiserum that fights the virus and cures people. In order to protect the prototype of this serum from the greed of some people, the four scientists hid it together with the formula for its production in a box, which is locked with a combination lock. For safety, each of the scientists thought of exactly one number of the combination. Unfortunately, the entire research team got infected with the virus and forgot everything that is important for the production of the antiserum and the combination of the combination lock as well. You are now our only hope. Find out the combination to the combination lock and save humanity. You have only a few hours left before too many people are infected to ensure the survival of humanity.
