Physics Teachers' Inventions Fair proceedings

Fair 7, Praha 2002

• Baník I., Baník R.: Interesting Electrolysis, Fair 7, Praha 2002
  In this contribution there is presented a simple charge measurement by electrolysis.
• 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.
• 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).
• Rut-Marcinkowska M.: Physics of young artists, Fair 7, Praha 2002
  This contribution is denoted to non-traditional teaching and physics popularization methods of Polish schools (competitions, school performance, etc.). The author mentions her experience with this form of education and specific examples from school.
• 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.
• 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.
