Organizational and technical information

Basic information for teachers intending to visit IPL

• Nowadays, the IPL offers ten experimental sets.

• One visit = one experimental set.

• You choose the day and the time of your visit from the offered options. You can usually also choose the experimental set, if it is not fixed for your date.

• IPL experimental sessions start at 8:30 and at 11:00.

• The visit in the laboratory lasts 120 minutes.

• The maximal size of one group is 16 students + their teacher(s).

• The visit of the laboratory is free of charge.

What does the typical visit of the IPL look like?

• Every experimental set consists of a few (four to six) experimental units. After they enter the laboratory, students are divided into four work groups.

• Every unit has its own work sheet which is given to the students, who record their results into it. Worksheets are available for download in the section Experimental sets.

• During experimenting, two lecturers are available for students. The lecturers are Ph.D. students or younger employees of the Department of Physics Education, or even students of the Department, i.e. future teachers of mathematics and physics.

• At the end of the IPL visit, every work group describes one of the experimental units in a short (several minutes) presentation including major findings and results. The description should be intelligible also for groups which have not gone through the unit which is described. (For time reasons, in most cases students do not go through all the units of the experimental set.
