Course Aim

After completing the course the student should:
- be able to put physic topics in a historical context and link it to human history.
- show physics’ significance to technology, human world and society.
- demonstrate in-depth knowledge in a few areas, such as statistical physics, kinetic gas theory, mathematical physics and
quantum physics, electrical engineering and energy cycles and flows.
- be able to alternate between theoretical and practical knowledge, and demonstrate knowledge of how the understanding of
physics is communicated and reflected in science classes. Examination and evaluation.
- demonstrate the ability to use different forms of expression to describe and explain scientific phenomena and processes,
both known and new contexts using physic terms, concepts and theories.
- demonstrate skills to apply scientific methods and approaches and document these in different ways.
- show that they can prepare and organize practical laboratory sessions.

Contents

- Development of physics as a science from a historical perspective with emphasis on the use of the history of physics as a didactic tool in teaching.
- Basic mathematical tools for the treatment of physical and technical problems. Vector analysis, heat and wave equations, kinetic gas theory, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and the use of computational tools in physics.
- Energy cycles and flows, energy use, energy supply and conversion in community perspectives.
- Learning environments that lay the foundation for and promotes pupils' knowledge of physics. Current educational research and its significance for teaching.
- Development of teaching, examination and preparation of laboratory work. Evaluation, examination methods, equipment, laboratory structure, report writing.
