The workshop consists of more than twenty simple hands-on physics experiments that use a thermal imaging camera as a visualization tool. These experiments are grouped thematically into six experimental sets, namely: thermal conductivity, conversion of kinetic energy into internal energy, evaporation of liquids, light sources, heating by radiation and Joule heating. All the experiments are...
Low-cost, standalone Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) headsets are today available to teachers and researchers, creating new opportunities for educators similarly to what happened with smartphones and the BYOD methodology. In fact, these VR/AR setups are based on high-precision, 6 degrees-of-freedom, high-speed, multiple-object tracking technologies, whose data is available to...
The free app phyphox has a set of beneficial features for smart-device-based physics experiments utilising particularly the built-in sensors. Notably, a high level of customisation, diverse options for data analysis, a remote interface, and a versatile interface for network connections like wi-fi or Bluetooth LE offer opportunities for innovative teaching-learning situations.

In this workshop we will share our experience in implementing advanced imaging techniques in scientific educational and dissemination contexts, by making use of educational grade devices and easily available materials. Participants will be provided with an overview of various educational grade imaging techniques and they will have the opportunity to acquire basic operational skills on image...
Abstract. Classroom experimentation plays a crucial role in physics education. With the use of Arduino-systems, we have the opportunity to create low-cost equipment for the physics lab, and conduct various interesting and practice-oriented measurements with our students, from basic experiments to advanced-level research problems. Testing the conductivity of different fluids can be useful for...
