Workshop Experiments and Practical Work in Physics Education Workshop

Speaker

Mirela Kaczmarek (University of Wrocław)

Description

During the workshop, participants will make their own physics toys to help build intuition related to learning physics, especially about mechanics and center of mass. They will also discover practical ways to use such toys at different stages of education to build engagement and interest in science subjects. Simple toys made from accessible materials are a pretext for teaching through inquiry.
