- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the possibilities of preparation and realization of student experiments with simple or improvised tools. On a number of concrete realizations to strengthen manual dexterity in simple production techniques: cutting and machining of material, soldering, gluing..., basics of production from paper, wood, plastic, metal, glass.
Sharing information on how to obtain input materials or raw materials.
Overview of available methodologies.
Encouragement to produce and be creative.
All items produced will be available for the student to take away for future use in their own teaching.

- Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
design and prepare simple student experiments,
to produce the necessary tools,
orient themselves to the availability of input materials,
apply basic student experimental methodologies.
The student will be able to take the produced tools away for use in his/her own teaching practice. - Syllabus
- Processing of materials and simple products from paper, plastic foils and tubes, wood, glass, metal. (e.g., simple spectroscope, polarimeter, pinhole chamber, holders, elements for optical board, models of chemical compounds, improvised electronic circuits, simple motor, compass, pressure gauge, hygrometer ....).
- Improvised ways of carrying out selected experiments (e.g., measuring g from free fall, pendulum analysis, experiments with gravity, hydraulic press, galvanic cell, NaCl single crystal growth, experiments in electrostatics ....)
- The mobile phone as a measuring instrument.
- Soldering technique.
- Students will be able to influence the choice of specific topics.
- Teaching methods
- Practical work in the laboratory/workshop.
- Assessment methods
- Active work in the laboratory. Self-presentation of a selected student experiment.
A minimum of 80% participation is required for credit. - Language of instruction
- Czech
