  2. 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“.

  3. 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

  4. Transfer of information • by our participation in activities open to public • by our own lecture - experimental tours at secondary schools

  5. I. Public activities • Days of Open Doors2010, 2011, 2012 • Night of Researchers2010, 2011, 2012 • Week of Science and Techniques 2010, 2011 • Training for teachers of chemistry and natural sciences - yearly

  6. II. The lecture-experimental toursat 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

  7. Topics • 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

  8. Our video film library of Physics and Chemistry • 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?

  9. Our video film library of Ionizing radiation • 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 radiationprotection

  10. 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

  11. Púchov Liptovský Mikuláš Krompachy Slovenská Ľupča Žiar n/Hronom Nová Baňa

  12. 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

  21. 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.
