Teaching aids for physics and chemistry created by FFF 3D printing
PÍŠA, Adam
The thesis focuses on the creation of a set of experiments for teaching physics and chemistry using aids created by 3D printing. Each experiment is designed based on the framework curriculum for primary or secondary school. Firstly, experiments using existing aids are created, followed by an experiment with a modified aid, and the largest part of the thesis focuses on experiments with newly created aids. Each experiment is described and commented, including photo documentation, and at the same time the model is shared via the online interface Printables. In total, there are three existing, one modified and eight custom aids in this thesis. All aids have been verified by the author in his own lessons and presented to other teachers of relevant subjects. Based on the verification, it can be stated that the biggest benefit is easy modifiability and low cost.

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.

Risks related to open water diving and their prevention
OBORNÁ, Veronika
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the risks associated with open water diving and their prevention. Three objectives were determined to elaborate this thesis. The first objective was to find out what kind of knowledge professional and recreational divers have about the risks related to open water diving. The second objective was to examine what knowledge divers have about preventive measures related to open water diving. Last but not least, the third objective was to determine what barriers regarding the open water diving are perceived by divers. The bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is divided into chapters and subchapters describing the history of diving, fundamental diving equipment, basics of physics for divers and physiology related to diving. The heoretical part also describes the most common injuries and diseases occurring during diving, proper first aid as a reaction to them as well as their treatment. Finally, a part of the theory is devoted to the prevention of undesirable situations during open water diving. In the practical part of this thesis a qualitative research was applied. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of ten divers of different ages and different lengths of experience. Five informants were professional divers and five informants were recreational divers. The data obtained from the interviews were processed into four categories, which were further subdivided into subcategories. Using the qualitative research, it was found out that both professional and recreational divers have the necessary knowledge regarding the risks associated with open water diving. Despite essential knowledge and efforts to follow preventive measures, all but one informant experienced a crisis situation during a practice dive, which always turned out well due to proper theoretical preparation for these risk situations. All informants are aware that the biggest risk is the diver himself and overestimation of his own abilities. Regarding the knowledge of preventive measures related to the open water diving, there were differences between the knowledge of professional and recreational divers. All informants had the necessary awareness of the discussed topic, however it was clear that professional divers were more familiar with this issue. All informants were knowledgeable about the necessity of diving training, proper diving equipment, preventive measures and first aid procedures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of an emergency situation. Moreover, it has been found out that divers perceive certain obstacles when diving in open water. In addition to poor health or psychological conditions being a barrier to diving, informants also determined low quality natural conditions as a barrier too. Deteriorated natural conditions were seen as a barrier mostly by recreational divers, whereas professional divers dive all year round and in all kinds of conditions. From the results of the research, it was ascertained that divers have sufficient knowledge of the risks associated with open water diving. Furthermore, informants have sufficient knowledge of preventive measures, which enables them to correctly assess certain situations. The fact that the informants consider the deteriorated natural conditions as a barrier to open water diving indicates that they are concerned about the prevention of risks associated with open water diving. This thesis highlights the importance of knowledge of the risks associated with open water diving and their prevention. The results of this bachelor's thesis can be used to supplement the knowledge of some divers, as a teaching material for novice divers or for health professionals who want to be aware of diving-related diseases and acute conditions related to diving itself.

Innovated historical experiments
HANZAL, Petr
The aim of this work is to innovate historical experiments so that they can be used in ordinary physics classes in primary schools. In the theoretical part is performed a research and analysis of the occurrence of historical experiments in curricular documents and in the 18 most widespread textbooks, published by Fraus, SPN, Prometheus and the Creative School. The practical part describes 6 historical experiments, together with a proposal of an alternative innovated execution with commonly available tools. Each experiment includes a procedure for performing the experiment in class. All proposed experiments were verified by professional circles dealing with the teaching of physics using qualitative research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants, followed by a questionnaire survey. The verification took place at 5 events, which were attended by teachers from the South Bohemian Region. A total of 29 experts took part in the event. The teachers tried some of the experiments themselves, some of them were demonstrated. In the 1st phase of verification, interviews with teachers took place. A questionnaire survey was conducted after a series of interviews. The verification results were reflected in the individual experiments. Based on the verification of the survey results, it can be stated that each experiment is feasible in physics classes and is suitable for implementation in teaching.

Didactic games and their inclusion to physics teaching at basic school
PÍŠA, Adam
The bachelor's thesis entitled "Didactic games and their inclusion in the teaching of physics at elementary school" describes the possibility of educating students in selected physics lessons in a playful way. The work focuses mainly on the refreshment of basic knowledge of individual physical disciplines, necessary for a proper understanding of the subject matter in secondary schools. In the first part we will focus on the theoretical description of games, its concept, important aspects and features. Next, a list of used parts of physics will be presented with a brief commentary on why this part was selected and which specific topics will appear in the second part. The second part contains examples of individual didactic games with a physical theme, in which the physical disciplines described above are used. The last game is a "roleplaying game", which is intended for future graduates of elementary schools as a playful form of repetition of physical knowledge acquired during physics classes. Finally, the process of creating this work, the expected results and a summary of the presented opinions will be evaluated.
