The main aim of the course is to support students in developing their knowledge, skills and competencies related to school science experimentation (including field observation) in individual fields of science (physics, chemistry, biology) with emphasis on science integration at primary level . The school experiment is a crucial teaching tool and the basis of many teaching methods and forms. The principles of school science experimentation are common and typical of all science subjects (disciplines) and are thus a suitable element for integration in education. Emphasis will be placed on a simple school experiment and also on all three basic components of a school science experiment: scientific, technical and methodological. A partial goal is to acquire skills to apply innovative educational methods using experiments in teaching such as IBSE in particular. At the end of the course students should be able to: to use basic knowledge about scientific scientific experimentation; use and didactically effectively implement comprehensive knowledge of science school experimentation; design of school experiments for different phases of teaching; design and manufacture aids for a school experiment and verify effectiveness in formal and non-formal education; to find appropriate teaching technology (methods, forms and means) using experiment; know and master innovated learning strategies and methods suitable for integrated content (IBSE, etc.); be able to create teaching resources (experiments, tasks, didactic tests, ICT and multimedia applications, etc.) using experiments and apply them in formal and non-formal education; have basic self-reflection skills.
