• Koudelková V., Cach R., Polák Z., Reichl J.: A few things from the summer camp – this time on the topic: “What already the ancient Greeks knew … and do we know it too?”, Fair 17, Praha 2012
  This paper describes seven selected projects which were conducted by the Maths and Physics Camp participants, which took place in Kořenov. It concerns these projects: Heron’s Inventions, Levitating Motor, Pythagorean Scale, Radio for Robinson, Communication With Light, Pendulum Wave and Water Integrator.
• Koudelková V., Dvořák L.: Three experiments inspired by secondary school students’ misconceptions about electricity and magnetism, Fair 18, Hradec Králové 2013
  The contribution describes three experiments which were inspired by the very frequent secondary school students’ misconceptions about electricity and magnetism. The first experiment relates to a charge on an insulator, the second one demonstrates qualitatively Coulomb’s law and the third experiment illustrates behaviour of a coil in a homogeneous magnetic field. The misconceptions are described as well as are the results of research that demonstrate a relevant misconception for each experiment respectively.
