Description

It is hard to imagine the popularization of physics today without the increasingly frequent theme days. They have become permanent important events that gather large crowds of participants. Their function of promoting knowledge and science cannot be overestimated. An example of this is the theme days at the Kraków Airport Aviation Education Centre. These include the Małopolska Night of Scientists, SPIN-day, Polish Science Days. Topics discussed there include: aerodynamics, mass distribution in an aircraft, X-ray radiation, space. Participants could see the explanation of the mentioned phenomena in practice.
