- Drozd Z.: Pot-Physics, Fair 11, Olomouc 2006
In this contribution there are described experiments with a pot. Pot is an available instrument not only for teachers, but also for students, and in physics lessons it is unusual enough to attract attention.
- Dvořák L.: A Bit of Heuristics from Malá Hraštice, Fair 5, Praha 2000
A few ideas from the assembly of students of the Department of Physics Education FMP CU. A guide on how to make a string phone with echoes, balance based on the Archimedes’ law, apparatus for measuring the Young’s modulus of jam, dumplings etc., amplifier constructed so that it picks up a magnet pendulum passing through its balance position. Everything is made of commonly available resources.
- Jílek M.: Physics Workshop for Secondary School Students, Fair 7, Praha 2002
This contribution summarizes some of the physics hobby group ideas – finding out, whether a sailboat can be set in motion by blowing in the sail while standing in the rear of the boat, analyzing a rotation of a flying ball, observing the effect of the Coriolis force, observing a flying boomerang, building a model a combustion engine.
- Jílek M.: Practical projects in physics education, Fair 10, Praha 2005
This contribution describes a structure of projects adequate for completion of physics lessons on high schools (demonstration: measurement of surface tension of water) and construction of Magdeburg hemispheres as a student projects.
- Kazachkov A., Salinas A.: Atmospheric pressure in low-cost demonstrations and measurements, Fair 17, Praha 2012
In this paper there are presented two simple experiments for atmospheric pressure measurement with simple devices.
- Konečný P.: Some experiments with thermosensitive films, Fair 13, Plzeň 2008
This contribution deals with a utilization of reverse thermosensitive foils for detection of temperature changes in experiments demonstrating adiabatic compression or expansion of gas. A demonstration of the 3rd Newton’s law of action and reaction in mechanics of fluid is also included.
- Piskač V.: Ice – The Physicist’s friend, Fair 10, Praha 2005
A description of some water and ice anomalies and interesting demonstrative experiments – the change in volume during melting and freezing, relegation of ice, progression of freezing of water in a container, and polarization properties of ice.
- Polák Z.: Measurement of Air Velocity, Fair 5, Praha 2000
A simple measurement of the speed of air flowing from an air flow generator and, as a bonus, a description of some other experiments (balance wheel, the Cartesian diver, rocket…)
- Polák Z.: Simple Experiments, Fair 7, Praha 2002
A few of simple experiments which can be used either as a demonstration during teaching or as a laboratory work (weighing on a sheet of paper, flexible centre impact, interconversion of electrical and mechanical energy, model of a turbine, Foucault currents, alcohol vapour rocket).
- Trzebuniak A.: Experimental Set with Many Questions III, Fair 11, Olomouc 2006
Utilization of experimental kits helps the teacher to prepare interesting revision lessons or optional exercises. These sets can liven up the work with students and they can lead to easier understanding and longer keeping of the acquired information.
- Vícha V., Formánek P.: Heat pack, Fair 11, Olomouc 2006
It is possible for some substances to stay in a liquid state at temperatures and pressures below their triple point values. Crystallization in such a state releases its internal energy in the form of heat. Simple measurements concerning this phenomenon can be conducted with a heat pack (Fire Bag)
- Votruba V., Sekal O., Novák J.: Archimedes‘ Theorem Doesn’t Work, Fair 7, Praha 2002
In the contribution there are stated four experiments to demonstrate the Archimedes’ law.
