Photosynthesis
This Koumio® board answers the question: why are plants so important to us?
The secret of the green factory.
A closed ball run with chemical elements forms a model of the most important biochemical reaction on the planet.

How it works
What happens at the Koumio® board
Balls (water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, sugar and oxygen) travel a closed run with a hidden lever. The hidden lever does the magic of photosynthesis: sugar is made and oxygen is released.
Once the lever tips, the process is complete. On one side sugar is made, energy for the plant, and on the other oxygen is released for us.
What children take away
Photosynthesis as a dynamic process, not a picture in a textbook
A feel for what goes into photosynthesis and respiration and what comes out
The principle of a closed cycle in nature, which we are part of
