- Böhm P.: Experiments with Scales, Fair 22, Olomouc 2017
The paper describes two experiments using digital scales. The first part describes the mass changes when a candle and steel wool are burned. The second part deals with a body submerged in a fluid and (non)dependency of the buoyancy force on mass.
- Brockmeyerová J., Drozd Z.: High-tech at Arm’s Reach, Fair 6, Olomouc 2001
Several proposals on how to use modern technical devices and equipment common in households when teaching physics. A measurement of strength of Velcro. Examination of the infrared radiation emitted by the remote control. Comparison of illumination by a compact fluorescent light and a common light bulb using a photometer. Measurement of a lattice constant of a CD, application of a CD as a spectrometer. A principle of phototropic glass, analysis of its reaction to illumination by different sources.
- 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.
- 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.
