- Dvořák L.: How to weigh using ammeter and voltmeter or Make your own (almost) Kibble scales, Fair 25, Praha 2020
The paper describes two experiments concerning free fall of systems combining elastic and inertial mass. The described experiments represent two extreme situations: 1) elastic mass is negligible, 2) all the falling mass is elastic.
- Dvořák L.: Other ideas from Malá Hraštice: magnets’ repulsion, Fair 24, Hradec Králové 2019
The paper presents several experiments with simple equipment designed to measure the force between small magnets. These experiments were designed during spring training camp for future and present physics teachers at Malá Hraštice.
- 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.
- Šabatka Z.: Experiments from Interactive Physics Laboratory – rotating systems, Fair 19, Cheb 2014
The paper describes four experiments that belong to the field of rotating systems, one of the topics with which students could meet during their visits to Interactive Physics Laboratory (http://kdf.mff.cuni.cz/ifl/) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University in Prague (MFF UK) in the school year 2013/2014. We also briefly describe a working principle of the laboratory.
- Trzebuniak A.: Multiple Question Experimental Set-Ups, Fair 7, Praha 2002
Two kits for student experimental work completed with problematic questions with surprising answers. The first deals with the properties of polarized light, the second with the action of force between two bodies.
