Almer Gungor (KU Leuven Association)14/12/2021, 11:0012. University Physics: research and good practicesThematic Discussion Group in Wroclaw
Abstract. Electromagnetism topicsโmight seem as irrelevant for some disciplines at the first sightโcan easily be related to studentsโ home disciplines and everyday-lives by integrating relevant contexts to the topics or problems. Therefore, we would like to provide examples that integrate contexts relevant to everyday lives/future careers of students from various bachelor programs. We have...

Mr Freek Pols (Delft University of Technology)14/12/2021, 11:0011. Secondary school physicsPresentations in Wroclaw
Learning to engage in scientific inquiry is an important goal in secondary physics education. However, attaining this learning goal continues to be a challenge. We addressed this problem by devising and testing a teaching sequence that aims at developing studentsโ (aged 14-15) understanding of and adherence to scientific criteria. We observed, that after going through this sequence, the...

Dr Sascha Hohmann (IPN - Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education)14/12/2021, 11:0020. Contemporary physics and modern physics in schools and universitiesPresentations in Wroclaw
Remote telescopes in education provide the opportunity to obtain high quality images with little effort. The Stellarium Gornergrat is such a telescope. In addition to pure observation, it offers user-friendly interface and teaching documents so that astronomical and astrophysical projects can be integrated into everyday school life without any special prior knowledge and without spending a lot...

The significance of the albedo for the terrestrial climate
Go to contribution page
The albedo is defined as the ratio of reflected to incident light on a body in the case of diffuse reflection. For celestial bodiesโsuch as the planets, asteroids or cometsโthe albedo is an essential quantity, because on the one hand it determines their visibility and on the other hand it allows statements about their surface... -

Ivan Melo (University of Zilina (SK))14/12/2021, 11:4020. Contemporary physics and modern physics in schools and universitiesPresentations in Wroclaw
I will look at Plato from a point of view of a particle physicist. I find his philosophy surprisingly relevant for the current development in our field, and, vice versa, modern physics offers precious input into deep philosophical questions, in particular about the role and nature of beauty, the quality appreciated in various forms by all people.

Dr Adesso Maria Giuseppina (Liceo "G. Da Procida"), Roberto Capone (University of Salerno)14/12/2021, 11:4011. Secondary school physicsPresentations in Wroclaw
Abstract. Project-Based Learning methodology has been used to experiment with high school students' interdisciplinary learning crunch focused on symmetries. Students were involved in some highly symmetric solidsโ buildings. Symmetry has been investigated in Art, Philosophy, and Mathematics by using ICT, too. Finally, students built some symmetric electrical networks, and they verified the main...
