- Abstract
As a teacher, you have to think about how to get to your pupils while staying within their natural environment. In this regard, teaching units on everyday topics have proven highly successful. Concerning chemical issues, hands-on lessons about food and sweets are an approach worth trying. Hence, a unit on sherbet powder was developed within Bielefeld University's project “KolumbusKids”. The project's students loved it, especially due to the fun of producing their own “fizzy powder”. As we enjoyed watching the children become ever more excited and engaged during the unit, we want to provide you with the necessary background information so that you can benefit from our experiences as well and present the pupils with a good introduction into chemistry on a primary school level.
