Requirements of physics on the level of introductory course.

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to provide students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to prepare, present and interpret school experiments. Furthermore, this subject is a platform for developing other competencies, such as communication skills. Within the course, students will be introduced to suitable demonstration experiments in secondary education of oscillation and waves, electricity, magnetism and optics.

Learning outcomes

The course is devoted to students of physics teaching. Absolving the course a student obtains following abilities and skills:
Basic laboratory and technical skills.
Ability to prepare, perform and interpret demonstration experiment.
Ability to interpret fundamental experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, electrostatics, electricity and magnetism, oscillation, waves, acoustics, optics.
Ability to explain how technical stuff works.
