Learning outcomes
Students will be made aware of laboratory works in the area of mechanics and thermodynamics. Substance density measurement, moment of inertia measurement, gravitational acceleration measurement, tense surface measurement, viscosity measurement, elasticity module measurement, thermal conductivity measurement, heat capacity of metals measurement, verification of the equation of state for ideal gases, verification of law of conservation of energy and momentum, mechanical oscillations studies, solar ray collector studies. Students fulfil all tasks and hand in completed protocols.
Understanding the area of mechanics and thermodynamics on an experimental level.
Prerequisites
Mechanics and thermodynamics lectures.

Assessment methods and criteria
Development of laboratory protocols

Elaboration of protocols from all tasks. The average number of points from all protocols must be at least 14 out of 20 points. The minimum number of points for recognition of the protocol is 11 inclusive.
