Abstract

V originále

Processing the measurement results isn't popular activity for most students. Many of them find it very complicated and unnecessary and the same point of view shared some teachers, unfortunately. That is possible reason why this part of science teaching is underestimated and in some cases completely passed. Because students aren't enough prepared to work with special applications and drawing graphs or charts by hand is inconceivable for them, they resort to use MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc. A seemingly simple solutions however can bring about bad habits in future, because this applications, primarily intended for use in offices, don't offer the same wide range of features and functions that special science software. On the other hand, many of these applications are very expensive and unavailable for both, school and students. But it isn't necessary using only paid applications, especially in schools. In this paper we will present some free programs that can be used for quality analyzing the measurements results (for example SciDAVis, QtiPlot, LabPlot,…). To compare the different instruments were used methods of comparative analysis, which was based on parameters modified heuristic analysis (based on the experience of the author-defined parameters school use). Options applications were presented on the specific issue analysis freefall balls and a detailed analysis of its drag coefficient Cx. As an optimal analysis tool was designed QtiPlot for demanding users and scidavis for the first acquaintance with the problems of data analysis for středoškolksé students.
