Course objectives
The main objective is for students to gain practical skills in conducting experiments with safety in mind. The sub-goals are the appropriate selection of the given experiment in connection with the presentation of the given physical phenomenon. Furthermore, orientation in the form of the implementation of a demonstration or student experiment.
After the course, students will be able to independently perform experiments suitable for teaching physics.
Goals:
Knowledge: systematized basic concepts of school physics linked to didactic knowledge, use of physics concepts, laws, theories in demonstration experiments.
Skills: manual and machine set-up of apparatus for school experiments, working with hand tools, demonstrating experiments to pupils and guiding pupils in pupil experiments.
Attitudes:


Conscious adherence to workplace safety rules, accepting the importance of physical experimentation in science, education and training.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should know and know:
- Follow safety rules when performing experiments
- to realize the physical experiment correctly from the technical point of view
- Apply a suitable physical experiment to a given topic.
