How the plants influence our atmosphere - project based education for the basic school
JANEBOVÁ, Klára
The aim of my theses was to create an educational project for students of elementary schools on the topic of how plants affect our atmosphere. The suggested project base on the project teaching comprises of four issues: reducing the heat with vegetation, isopreniods and atmosphere, dust particles and vegetation, and carbon dioxide - vegetation - atmosphere. The project was verified in lessons of three elementary schools in South Bohemia with a hundred students of 9th class within the time period of March and April 2023. Teaching of botany at elementary schools focuses mainly on photosynthesis and morphology of plants; little attention is paid to the relation between plants and the atmosphere. The project is designed to demonstrate some areas of the relation plants-atmosphere, and to reveal the importance of vegetation for human beings. The effectivity of the educational project was verified in didactic survey. A pre-test was conducted before the activity itself and a post-test followed it with a one week delay. Collected data was then processed, evaluated and transformed into tables and charts. The data reveal that the suggested activity resulted in higher success rate in tests and increased the understanding of the effect of vegetation on the atmosphere.

Improvised tools in physics teaching
FIDLER, Ondřej
The thesis deals with methods of working with pupils using improvised experiments. At the beginning of the thesis, the theoretical background of teaching physics with teaching aids is presented. These theoretical principles are then tested by pupils in school practice with specific experiments. These experiments are included in the practical part, which is complemented by audiovisual documentation, detailed analysis and final self-reflection on the experiment. The conclusion discusses the results of these experiments and the methods used. Additionally, a questionnaire survey focused on the teacher's approach to physics teaching and the use of improvised aids before, during and after distance learning during the Covid-19 epidemic complements the thesis.
