Abstract

We present new real remote physics experiments controlled by JAVA objects via internet. The experiments are situated in the Czech remote laboratory at the Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Math and Physics, and they are accessible for free, from anywhere and for anyone at http://www.ises.info.

Within the integrated e-learning strategy, the experiments are added e-texts with the theory and description, simulations and other multimedia objects (e.g. instructional videos). Two experiments are described in details: a) photoelectric effect, and b) radioactivity and the common ways of our protection against ionizing radiation.

Real experimental data can be simply recorded and downloaded to a MS-Excel-like software and statistically and graphically processed (data fitting). This can be used within Math, Physics, or ICT lessons and for the homework as well.

Students may learn the basics of statistics and graphical data processing with many e-learning advantages. New remote experiment on radioactivity serves as a natural source of random numbers, thus the data are always unique.
