Fachkompetenzen:

The students understand how studies such as laboratory experiments, astronomical observations and space missions contribute to our knowledge about chemical evolution in extreme environments that probably led to the origin of life. They realize that life on Earth is and always was strongly influenced by cosmic phenomena. The students gain an overview about abiotic (prebiotic) chemical reactions in extreme environments and how traces of extinct and extant life can be detected on Earth and possibly on other planets (e.g. Mars) and moons (e.g. Europa, Enceladus). Extreme environments on other bodies of the Solar System are discussed as possible habitats for extraterrestrial life forms. During an excursion, the students acquire skills in recognizing the traces of an ancient asteroid impact. Students understand the technical and scientific prerequisites to study living systems under space conditions. The students know how gravity perception in general is organized in living systems.

Schlüsselkompetenzen:

After having completed the module, the students should be able to deal with highly interdisciplinary problems by combining the methods and ways of thinking of various scientific disciplines. They should be able to understand the extended technical needs in the presented field of science. The students are able to convert newly gained theoretical knowledge into own experimental research. In a small experiment, students gain the ability to formulate scientific hypotheses, the design of experimental setups and the practical realization of experiments and data management and interpretation.
