Course content
Lectures: 1.-2. International System of Units (SI), physical laws in natural phenomena, inquiry-oriented teaching and experiments in science 3. Elements as a cross-curricular topic. 4. Selected chapters of science and technology from the perspective of intersubject relations. 5. How does science work? Hypotheses, verification and falsification. Estimating the unimaginable. 6. Energy intersubjects. 7.-8. The position of geography within the geoscience disciplines. The role of water in the landscape - geographical, biological and physical contexts. 9. Numbers in society: prime numbers, self-correcting codes, coding, magic squares, Platonic solids, various tricks to help in calculations. Mathematical and physical foundations of music, string excitation, pitch, harmony, hearing. 10.-11. Relationship of math, physics, chemistry, what is science, history, work, force, equilibrium, definition of mole, thermodynamics, ideal gas theory, atomic models, basic ideas of quantum mechanics. 12. Sharing didactic aids with cross-curricular content as an activity for science teachers. Creation of educational cards and lapbooks. 13.-14. Cross-curricular relations of science education. Exercises: Students' own presentations on individual topics from the lectures, focusing on a complex interdisciplinary perspective and reflecting also the historical development of the issue.
