Students will gain an overview of selected experiments conducted at secondary school. They will be able to carry out the experiments independently, explain them from a physics point of view and include them appropriately in the process of physics and science education.
During the semester, there will be two written examinations, from which the student can obtain max. 2x 15 marks. In the middle of the semester, the student submits a plan of semester work - max. 10 marks. At the end of the semester, the student submits a semester work - max. 20 marks and lab reports (2x10 marks). In the exam period, there will be a structured discussion, where the student can get max. 20 marks. Credits will not be awarded if the student scores less than 50% of the marks.

Experiments and experiments mainly in the fields of geometric and wave optics, atomic physics.
Graduates will look at teaching physics from a teacher's perspective. They will know the goals, methods and styles of teaching physics.
Graduates will know commercially available and used teaching equipment; they will use them appropriately. They will be able to carry out experiments with simple tools and the use of modern technology and with the help of digital technologies. They will be able to plan lessons in which empirical methods are applied, both a teacher demonstration experiment and, in particular, a student heuristic experiment.

From learning sequence, through the topic in teaching to the thematic unit.
Objectives of teaching physics at primary and secondary school.
Physics as a part of science education and as a part of technology basics.
Specifics of teacher's work in non-formal education (physics circle, club, physical competitions), non-formal education of students outside school.
Examples of teaching sequences and topics for analysis are mainly in the areas of electromagnetic induction, mechanical and electromagnetic waves, geometric and wave optics.
Graduates will have developed skills needed in creating a lesson in physics, choosing the goals of the lesson, ways and means of fulfilling these goals. They will also have developed personal qualities, support for the assertive behavior and communication skills of the future physics teacher.
