Course objectives
The course is dealing with particular topics of the fundamental course of general physics using the form of demonstration experiments. The main objective is to extend acquired knowledge and to apply them on concrete situations. This course is mainly dedicated to future secondary school teachers and it gives the examples of physical applications that can be used directly in secondary school physics education. At the end of this course, students should be able to: Better understand rudiments of mechanics and molecular physics and perform simple teaching experiments.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to: Better understand rudiments of mechanics and molecular physics and perform simple teaching experiments.
