IB Diploma students of our Higher Level Chemistry class are exploring the electrolysis of water. A pH indicator is used to allow for observation of pH changes around electrodes during the electrolysis.

After studying the Physics of waves, our grade 8 students participated in a cross-curriculum project integrating Music and Physics. The students used Bluetooth microphones to record the wave form and length of various instruments. This led to finding the frequency and actual musical note. Instruments such as the guitar and ...

We are proud to announce that we were awarded again with the awards for "MINT-friendly Primary and Secondary School" as well as "MINT - Digital Primary and Secondary School". After we received the awards for the first time three years ago, we are now certified with the highest level to ...

Students of ABI GK1 Chemistry Grade 12 explore factors influencing the rate of reaction, such as concentration of reactants and temperature. Redox reaction between ink blue dye and fruit sugar is used to determine the average rate of a reaction under different conditions to explore the collision theory. 

Students in grade 10 spent the morning visiting the Gläsernes Labor, where they learned the technique for collecting and isolating DNA samples that could be used in crime scene forensics or parentage testing. They then learned the theory and techniques for generating a “DNA fingerprint” and simulated a crime scene ...

Last week, Grade 9  performed experiments as part of the Science Days / International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO). The students worked in groups to complete the tasks for the Olympiad.  This year, the topic was "Ink". Students investigated the chemistry of ink, how "ink killer" works, how to use ink in biology ...

With over 20 000 teams worldwide, the VRC robot competitions are one of the most popular amongst students. See press release here. In 2020, Berlin Cosmopolitan School (BCS)will host the Berlin qualifications on January 10, 2020 for the German final. A total of five teams from various schools in Berlin, ...

On Thursday, 12th of September 2019, the 12th grade students of Abitur Grundkurs Chemistry visited Gläsernes Labor in Berlin Buch to conduct hands-on chemistry experiments dealing with the topics of pigments and colorants. They synthesized colorants that belong to different structural groups, such as AZO dyes, carbonyl dyes (Indigo), phtalocyanine ...

On Monday, June 24, our 11th graders (Biology Abitur-LK) investigated ecosystem forest and lake in Brandenburg's beautiful landscape. The students compared the diversity of plant and animal species of different ecosystem. They also measured abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity and pH in various locations. In addition, the students took ...

Last week, the 8th grade students had the special opportunity to work as scientists for two days in the laboratories of the Gläsernes Labor in Buch. On one day they participated in Chemistry workshops to try different methods of extracting scents from various natural substances, and in one instance, synthetically generate esters ...
