SLOVENSKÁ TECHNICKÁ UNIVERZITA V BRATISLAVE Fakulta chemickej a potravinárskej technológie SLOVAK UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY IN BRATISLAVA Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology Introduction We searched for new forms of education of young generation in the field of natural and technical sciences within the scope of the APVV (Slovak Research and Development Agency) project: „Physics and Chemistry in our Life Today and Tomorrow“. Long-range goals to overcome distaste, aversion to physics to arouse an interest of youth in the world of nature around us application of the idea “science by game” popularization of well known natural phenomena to transfer new science - technical knowledge Transfer of information by our participation in activities open to public by our own lecture - experimental tours at secondary schools I. Public activities Days of Open Doors 2010, 2011, 2012 Night of Researchers 2010, 2011, 2012 Week of Science and Techniques 2010, 2011 Training for teachers of chemistry and natural sciences - yearly II. The lecture-experimental tours at secondary schools Popularization of science and transfer of new science and technology knowledge through lecture-experimental tours at secondary schools of Slovakia These lectures consist of: • power-point presentations, • video films concerning the lecture topic • virtual as well as real demonstrations • evaluation of answer of quiz - prize Topics 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Movement and cause of movement Laws of conservation Liquid at rest and in movement Light – natural and artificial sources of light Can you explain light phenomena around us? Electric field Magnetism in nature The use of strong magnets - MRI, cyclotrons, synchrotrons Radioactivity - bugbear of mankind or our fellow Origin of X-rays and their usage Nuclear power engineering Modern imaging techniques in medicine Nuclear medicine – open irradiators in diagnostic and therapy Radiation protection Chemical reactions known and unknown Insulation methods of aromatic matters Our video film library of Physics and Chemistry 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Projectile motion Inertia forces Equation of motion Electrostatic field Magnetism Our Sun Games with fluid Reflection and interference Optic lattice Physical toys Chemical reactions known, unknown? Our video film library of Ionizing radiation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Radioactivity Irradiator X-rays and diffraction device Application of X-rays in medicine Modern imaging techniques in radiology and nuclear medicine Nuclear medicine – open radiation sources in diagnostics and therapy Ionizing radiation and radiation protection in medicine Days of radiation protection Attended schools Secondary grammar and vocational schools in Slovakia: Number of schools: 18 Number of lectures: 65 Towns: Bratislava, Komárno, Krompachy, Liptovský Mikuláš, Nová Baňa, Prievidza, Púchov, Slovenská Ľupča, Košice, Žiar n/Hronom Púchov Liptovský Mikuláš Krompachy Slovenská Ľupča Žiar n/Hronom Nová Baňa Experiences To supply the power-point presentation of lecture directly by demonstrations, experiments To combine the power-point presentation with the video clips and video-films, internet To allow a pause during a lecture To assign a written questions, tasks at the beginning of lecture – it helps to maintain the attention during the whole lecture To give a time for discussion and for “playing” with demo tools To evaluate the student’s answers of written quiz and to reward some students with symbolic prizes Holá O.: Multi-purpose utilization of strong magnets – MRI, cyclotrons, synchrotrons 2.12.2010 Night of Researchers– 23.9.2011 Photodocumentation Krompachy Púchov Bratislava - Metodova Prievidza Quiz prize reward Conclusion We can emphasize that the combination of a lecture, videos, experiments as well as inclusion of physics toys as more attractive teaching aids, contributed to the enhancement of physics education and students’ knowledge. At all the schools where we lectured, students seemed to be very pleased by our presentations and showed great interest in the topic.
