Worksheets for a field trip to the periodic table of elements at the Faculty of Science, Charles University
Kyzek, Tomáš ; Teplý, Pavel (advisor) ; Míka, Luděk (referee)
The thesis describes a relation of the periodic table of elements, field trips and worksheets to chemistry education. Specifically the thesis is focused on a field trip to an exposition The periodic table of elements at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. Theoretical part of the thesis analyses the history of the periodic table of elements, summary of curricular documents and textbooks for elementary schools and grammar schools, afterwards relation of an field trip to students' learning and lastly the meaning of worksheets and A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The methodology covers gathering feedbacks, creating tasks, their goals and solution. The discussion about choosing and changings tasks compared to the original worksheet are described in the practical part of the thesis. Four versions of worksheets were created each containing 10 tasks. All versions of worksheets, a version for elementary schools with a lecturer, a version for secondary schools with a lecturer, a version for elementary schools without a lecturer, a version for secondary schools without a lecturer.

USB-microscope and its possibilities for chemistry and geology education
Kopecký, Ondřej ; Šmejkal, Petr (advisor) ; Teplý, Pavel (referee)
Microscopes are a common tool in science education, used to demonstrate phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye. They are most commonly encountered in the teaching of biology, but could also be used in the teaching of other science subjects, such as geology or chemistry. In addition to microscopes, binoculars can also be used in teaching. One such alternative for binoculars is the USB-microscope, which has been expanding in recent years beyond its primary use in electrical engineering. It appears that the USB-microscope could be a suitable teaching tool. However, its wider use is inhibited by inexperience of teachers and students, as well as by the lack of teaching and materials that could effectively utilise the USB-microscope. Consequently, the objective of this study was to select and optimise experiments that are suitable for education and, at the same time, can utilise the USB-microscope to advantage in their presentation. Additionally, the objective was to create worksheets and supplementary materials for educators to facilitate the selected experiments. To achieve this, ten experiments were selected and optimized for both teaching and laboratory work with the USB-microscope. The appropriate supplementary materials, including worksheets, were then developed for these experiments. The...

New materials to support the teaching of biochemistry in secondary schools - vitamins in nutrition and metabolism
Budíková, Kateřina ; Martínek, Václav (advisor) ; Teplá, Milada (referee)
Vitamins are a topic that is discussed throughout various fields of human knowledge. They are especially important because they cannot be synthesized by the human body and are needed for the proper function of the body. The most common task of the vitamins is participation in antioxidant reactions and their role as cofactors of various enzymatic reactions. For these reasons, it is very important to have sufficient intake of vitamins and pass this knowledge onto students in school. As a result of my own analysis of selected secondary school chemistry textbooks, the topic of vitamins is not often presented clearly enough and the textbooks are not focused on linking the topic of vitamins with their particular function in the human body and with students' everyday life. Based on these circumstances, a set of educational materials called The Vitamins in Human Nutrition and Metabolism was created. The set includes an educational PowerPoint presentation, a worksheet and revision cards. The set contains graphic schemes and illustrations supporting connections between the vitamins and everyday life. The set of educational materials is available on website studiumchemie.cz (the Department of Chemistry Education, Faculty of Science at Charles University). The new materials can be used to aid education of the...

Diagnostika přímého vstřikování benzínu v praxi
BÜRGER, Jan
Thesis focuses on the diagnosis of the fuel system of direct injection gasoline FSI on a training panel. Several measurements on components are described in detail, along with the procedure, results, and their description. At the end, a worksheet for students is developed for each measurement, as per the employer's request. This work will serve to evaluate these worksheets and, at the same time, can be used to improve vehicle diagnostics in practice.

Science worksheets on the topic "Water" for teaching in a school garden
Kakešová, Kristýna ; Janštová, Vanda (advisor) ; Svobodová, Silvie (referee)
Most elementary schools in the Czech Republic have a school garden, but despite frequently emphasized benefits of fieldwork, it is difficult for many schools to include their school garden in their classes. Therefore, the main goal of this diploma thesis was to create and test worksheets for teaching in a school garden at the second grade of elementary school (i.e. pupils 12 to 15 years old). Ten worksheets are focused on the topic "water"; four of them are dedicated to measurement of precipitation. The created materials were tested at a small rural school, whose school garden has been modernized in recent years. After minor modifications, the worksheets are useable in all school gardens. This thesis also contains created materials - worksheets with author's solutions and methodological manuals for teachers. The second goal of this thesis was to determine the effect of teaching with these worksheets on the pupils' attitude towards the school garden and the environment. To collect data from 34 respondents, I used modified standardized research tools Inclusion of Nature in Self (INS) and Two Major Environmental Values (2-MEV), the research was based on pre-test/post-test design. The achieved results show a positive effect on the pupils' attitude towards the school garden, the effect on the pupils'...

Art Nouveau art in children's free time
Lachnit, Ondřej ; Hanková, Zdeňka (advisor) ; Blažková, Veronika (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on Art Nouveau art in leisure time. In the first, theoretical part, I focus on defining the concepts of free time, the functions of free time, and the introductory characteristics of Art Nouveau, where I mainly deal with decorative elements such as stucco, painting and sculpture decoration, stained glass, metal elements, and lighting. The practical part is devoted to a project that I created for leisure-time educators and art teachers. Based on the created project, I discussed with art teachers and workshop instructors about the project and supplemented my bachelor thesis with their outputs. The project concept is divided into four blocks that are interconnected and intended for second-grade students. In the first block, I focus on searching for Art Nouveau symbols during a walk around the architecture in Prague. The second block is devoted to discovering Art Nouveau jewelry and its creation. The third block focuses on architecture and the creation of a model. The last, fourth block is devoted to the theme of the vernissage and its preparation, as well as an overall reflection on all the blocks.

The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of worksheets and their use in education in agricultural subjects. Creating worksheets is a time-consuming activity, but their use brings many positives. This bachelor thesis points out their usability in a specific subject animal husbandry. The theoretical part briefly defines the subject of animal husbandry and material teaching aids that can be used in it. It summarizes the basic characteristics of worksheets, their conditions, types of questions and learning tasks and the possibility of use in teaching. The practical part presents the possibilities of using worksheets for students and methodological sheets for teachers related to the subject animal husbandry. The thesis presents 3 worksheets for students, methodical sheets and correct worksheet completion for teachers, as an example of possible variable usage, compilation and structure across the subject according to the needs of teachers and students.
