Both Tuesday and Thursday were reserved for primary education students at the University of Siegen, who focus on geographical and chemical perspectives in their second and fourth semesters. They started by dragging a 25-kilogram ice block to simulate glacier abrasion. Using a cirque model with kinetic sand and wallpaper paste, they explored ice flow and moraine formation. Equipped with scientific knowledge, they conducted chemical and physical analyses, such as measuring the pH value of glacier water and examining its dissolved components using a conductivity meter.
On Tuesday, a video link to Norway was established, allowing Jan Höper to report directly from the field. He introduced the students to the Steindal Glacier, providing context for the next day’s visit with a student group as part of Activity Five.
