Course objectives
The main objective of the course are physics phenomena in everyday life and their interpretations for different target groups of education.
Knowledge: technical solutions based on physical phenomena and laws
Skills: to build experimental, computational task with use of data from daily life
Attitudes: to form a relationship with the technical achievements of mankind
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should know and know:  Creating teaching materials (worksheets, tasks, experiments) showing the use of physical knowledge in a common life  to analyze the practical situations and technical achievements of mankind and to analyze them from a physical point of view.
