Discover Heartbeat, Breath, and Pulse: Families Tinker Together
What does a heartbeat sound like? What happens when we breathe and how can the pulse be measured? During the Tinkering Afternoon Special at the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld, children and families explore the vital functions of the human body with all their senses and simple measurement methods from everyday medicine.
Exciting Experiments Around Your Own Body
At various participation stations, children observe their bodies very closely. They get to know classic vital signs from the doctor's office, try out simple measurement methods, and learn how the heart, lungs, and circulation work together. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience that stimulates curiosity and conveys medical knowledge in a child-friendly manner.
Build Your Own Stethoscope and Take It Home
A special highlight is the construction of a personal stethoscope. While tinkering, trying out, and listening, children experience how a medical examination device works. They may take the stethoscope they built home afterward. This way, the fun of learning remains alive even after the family outing.
For Small and Big Explorers
The open participation offers are aimed at families as well as children of various age groups. First activities are already suitable for children from three years old. Children up to and including ten years must be accompanied by an adult. Families can come without registration and choose how long they want to experiment.
Pedagogically Valuable Family Experience
The offer combines child development, joint exploration, and practical learning. Through their own observing, measuring, and building, children strengthen their body awareness, their understanding of health, and their joy in researching. The Knowledge Workshop provides a protected indoor space where questions, wonder, and independent experimentation are welcome.
Conclusion: Experience Curiosity About Your Own Body
Heartbeat, breath, and pulse become tangible in this family experience. Children enjoy laughter, wonder, and learning fun, while adults accompany the discoveries. The Tinkering Afternoon Special invites everyone to gather an exciting learning experience together and head home with a self-built stethoscope.
