Practical and fascinating biology experiments

LEYBOLD is the ideal partner for biology teaching and scientific education. We offer solutions for student experiments, demonstration experiments and university programmes in the following subject areas:

  • Human biology 
  • Sense physiology
  • Botany
  • Genetics and evolution
  • Ecology
  • Microbiology
  • Biotechnology

With easy-to-use, clearly structured experiments and experiment sets, complex concepts in biology lessons and practical lab work can be experienced in a way that both entertains and teaches. All experiments and sets have been put together by our team of experts in a didactically and technically sensible way and offer safe and reliable experimentation. We supplement experiments with selected models.


Student experiments: Where theory comes to life and learning becomes an experience

The experiment kits for student experiments in lower and upper secondary schools provide students with a practical and exciting approach to biological phenomena. To make theoretical knowledge lively and comprehensible, we emphasise experimental experiences and promote learning through discovery.

Biological knowledge plays a central role in many important areas of life - from medicine and environmental protection to keeping the body healthy. The base for research success is formed by student experiments that promote independent experimentation and sustainable learning. LEYBOLD's student experiments are not only fun, but they are also easy to carry out, conform to the curriculum and are safe.

We also offer student experiment sets for practical lab work in colleges and universities.


Robust and safe devices for teaching

At LEYBOLD, we attach great importance to the durability and reliability of our devices, as these features are indispensable in everyday school life. Our devices are therefore particularly robust and designed for many years of use by the students. In addition, our biology experiments fulfil the German safety standards according to the guidelines for safety in the classroom (RiSU). To further increase safety during experimentation, all our experiments are completed with detailed risk assessments.

In the student experiments, equipment that has been tried and tested in everyday school and university life is used across different subject areas and levels. The equipment is designed for long-lasting use in students' hands. Students quickly familiarise themselves with them, making it easy to carry out new experiments.


Innovative digital design of biology lessons

The use of our Mobile-CASSY 2 Wi-Fi measuring device in our student experiments enables advanced digital data acquisition and analysis. This technology offers students the opportunity to digitally record and interpret complex data. In addition to the digital measurement technology, students can access the digital experiment instructions Lab Docs on their own tablet, smartphone or PC and work interactively with them. From step-by-step instructions and tasks to integrated measured values in tables and diagrams and evaluation for a digital protocol, the Lab Docs turn experimentation into a comprehensive digital experience. Teachers and lecturers also benefit from the detailed instructions, which ensure that even new experiments are a success.
