Abstract

The Department of Physics Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague, offers a lot of activities designed to promote physics education to pre-service and in-service teachers as well as students of different types of schools. The contribution gives information about selected activities that cover wide spectra of topics that can be presented to pupils and students from pre-school to university levels.

The authors will introduce courses for pre-school children and teachers, for future primary and future secondary school teachers, demonstration sets of experiments for secondary school students and their teachers. The activities mentioned are developed and tested at the Department of Physics Education using immediate and long term feedback reflecting the needs of teachers and students.

The practical examples of one of these activities – courses for pre-service primary school teachers will be presented in workshop “Experiments in Science at Primary School”.
