The Riedenburger Model is a modular experiment system for lower secondary science education. The product range consists of five different sets, all identical in structure and equipment concept and differing only in the selection of experiments. It is aligned with Cambridge O Level requirements and reflects a globally averaged curriculum standard, ensuring international relevance and compatibility. The experiments are individually packed in drawers and arranged to fit into a standard laboratory cabinet. The modular structure allows the experiments to be flexibly rearranged and adapted to align with local curricula requirements.
The experiment selection is tailored specifically to year 5 while addressing core topics of science education for students approximately aged 10–13. It covers fundamental concepts in physics, materials, energy, optics, and basic human biology. Each set includes a total of 25 experiments, consisting of 18 student experiments and 7 teacher demonstration experiments.
Equipment for teacher experiments is provided once, while student experiment equipment is supplied in quantities that allow up to five student groups to carry out experiments simultaneously. For every experiment, detailed documentation is provided, including step-by-step instructions for teachers and students, didactic notes, photographs of the experimental setup, and risk assessment information. All documents are supplied in printed form and can also be accessed digitally via a QR code.

Some of the drawers contain chemicals. Some of these may only be stored in a passively ventilated cabinet, e.g. in the recommended cabinet
206 600 (to be ordered separately). Storage in a different cabinet must be clarified separately.
