BRINGING THE WORLD OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING TO LIFE

“Nobody can discover

the world for somebody
else. Only when we
discover it for ourselves
does it become
common ground (…)”
Wendell Berry
IT TAKES EXPERIMENTS TO BRING A CLASS TO LIFE
We want to help you to bring the
challenges and excitement of the world
of science and engineering to your
students. LEYBOLD products support
the teaching staff to prepare and
present complex topics in a clear and
transparent way. By collaborating very
closely with teachers and instructors,
we have developed and adapted our
LD DIDACTIC solutions for specific
curriculum requirements – thus
ensuring
maximum practical relevance

successful learning outcomes
“Germanys vaunted
dual-education system
is its latest export hit”
The Economist , June 2013
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IS
THE MIX OF THEORY AND PRACTICE
„Experimentation has always been a core competence of scientists
and engineers“, explains Dr. Hans-Joachim Prinz from LD DIDACTIC.
The planning, carrying out and recording of experiments is an
important element of a well-founded education in science and
engineering. In order to reinforce newly acquired knowledge,
experiments must be well matched to the theory.
Our holistic approach is inspired by the German dual education
system: Germany’s dual system of vocational education and training
has been a major factor in our country‘s economic success over
the past six decades. It involves both in-company training and
education at vocational schools to ensure a successful mix of theory
and practice.
A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN A
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE WORLD
We believe in the importance of education as a fundamental driver
of personal, national and global development. In a high specialized
world knowledge has become a decisive factor: Specialized
personnel are in greater demand than ever. By investing in the
practical training of your students, you are equipping them with
important skills that the labor market requires.
THE PASSION FOR
SCIENCE IS IN OUR DNA
From the very beginning in 1850 until now we at LD DIDACTIC
concentrate on making academic content understandable and
tangible for students at all levels of scientific and technical
education. We are proud that for generations our training and
educational systems have made a significant contribution to
knowledge transfer in natural sciences and engineering.
Nevertheless with more than 160 years of experience we have
found that we can achieve a lot through meeting our customer’s
needs: We continuously challenge ourselves to preserve our high
quality standards and adjust our products and services to changing
curricula or new technologies.

EXPLORING SCIENCE OR THE SCIENCE OF EXPLORING
In the field of the classic science you
will find a comprehensive system of
experiments for different educational
levels from secondary school to
university level. LD DIDACTIC provides
the complete package to carry out
experiments successfully: experimental
set-up, equipment, experiment
literature and training documentation –
all from a single source.
PHYSICS
In recent decades, technical progress has
been rapid and innovation cycles have been
accelerating, causing enormous technological
change. To prepare young people for these
technological challenges of the future, a solid
understanding of the physical sciences is
imperative. We can support you with:
Solutions for student experiments
Individual experiment apparatuses for
demonstrations and practicals
Complex training systems for university level
education
Modern measuring instruments with and
without computer assistance
Topics: Mechanics, Heat, Electricity / Electronics,
Optics, Photonics, Atomic and Nuclear Physics,
Solid-state Physics
CHEMISTRY
Modern technology offers opportunities but also
entails risks: the hole in the ozone layer or greenhouse
gas emissions on the one hand and on the other,
the hydrogen revolution or photovoltaics. Pupils
and students of today are the decision-makers of
tomorrow and it is up to us to prepare them as best
we can to meet these challenges. At LD DIDACTIC we
develop systems for safe, successful and interesting
experimentation including:
Systems for student experimentation
Equipment for experiments used for
demonstration purposes and practicals
Training systems for university level
Measuring instruments with
and without computer applications
Topics: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry,
Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry,
Chemical Engineering, Food Chemistry / Biochemistry
BIOLOGY
Knowledge in such fields as ecology, genetics and
neurophysiology is growing at an exponential
rate. The technical and scientific implications of
these developments are extremely complex and
appear to be only comprehensible to specialists.
We have committed ourselves to making these
complex topics more clearly understandable
through exploring nature and the environment
from perspective experimentation and supporting
teaching materials:
Student experiments
Demonstration experiments and practicals
University training and education
Data acquisition and analysis with or without valuable time when preparing your lessons using the
computer assistance
Topics: Microscopy, Physiology, Genetics, Botany,
Ecology, Microbiology
HOW TO MANAGE LABORATORY
WORKSHEETS EASILY
The time-consuming search for experiment instructions
is now a thing of the past. LD DIDACTIC can save
document center: this electronic library
allows digital access to all technical documents which
LD DIDACTIC provides in the form of extensive
literature packages. Thus you can access a complete
library of technical materials and print them.
THE CASSY SYSTEM – A STORY OF SUCCESS
For over two decades CASSY has provided computer-
assisted experimentation at all levels of education.
In 1988 we launched our pioneering idea of sensor
boxes. Since then CASSY has been developed into the
modular and flexible system that it is today and,
with its supporting software CASSY LAB. This has
become one of the most popular solutions for data
acquisition and subsequent analysis.
Mobile-CASSY 2 takes data capture a step further
offering a complete system in a handheld measuring
instrument making experimentation
even more flexible with universal
connection possibilities, fast recording
of measured values and its own
graphics capability.

With the current focus on the carbon footprint of power
generating companies there is a focus on “clean” power
generation as well as ecologically sensitive transmission
and distribution. Wind and solar power are the power
sources of tomorrow thus education and training in these
engineering disciplines is essential. Beside this, smart grid
and smart home technologies contribute extensively to
save even more energy and thus protect the environment.
Topics: Wind, Solar, Battery, Smart grid
