Physics research experiments for third grade secondary students

U radu je opisano nekoliko istraživačkih pokusa iz fizike za učenike trećih razreda srednjih škola. Odabir vježbi temelji se na Nacionalnom kurikulum za treći razred gimnazija te pokusa koji koriste lako dostupan eksperimentalni pribor i besplatni računalni softver. Pokusi obuhvaćaju gradivo iz elektromagnetizma, periodičnog gibanja i geometrijske optike. Istraživački pokusi doprinose savladavanju niza važnih praktičnih vještina i znanja, razvijanju učeničkog kritičkog mišljenja te obogaćuju nastavu fizike. Vježbe sadrže kratak teorijski uvod, opis eksperimentalnog pribora te upute i zadatke putem kojih učenici dolaze do rezultata i zaključaka. Vježbe sadrže postupak obrade i analize mjerenja te potrebne skice i grafove pomoću kojih se istražuje ovisnost fizičkih veličina. Istraživački pristup ostvaren je kroz način izvedbe vježbi kojim se učenike vodi do rezultata i zaključaka. Na kraju svake vježbe slijedi zadatak za samostalan rad navodeći učenike na način obrade rezultata i pisanje izvještaja.The thesis describes several research experiments in physics for third grade high school students. The selection of exercises is based on the National High School Curriculum and on experiments that use readily available experimental equipment and free computer software. The experiments include material from electromagnetism, periodic motion, and geometric optics. The experiments contribute to the acquisition of a range of important practical skills and knowledge, the development of students' critical thinking, and the enrichment of physics instruction. The exercises include a brief theoretical introduction, a description of the experimental equipment, and instructions and tasks through which students arrive at results and conclusions. The exercises include the process of processing and analyzing measurements, as well as the necessary sketches and diagrams used to study the dependence of physical quantities. The research approach was realized through the method of performing exercises that lead students to results and conclusions. At the end of each exercise there is an independent work task that guides students to process the results and write a report
