Interactive Worksheets for Teaching Atmospheric Aerosols and Cloud Physics

Teaching and Learning Physics with Interactive Video

Process-oriented Worksheets for the Support of Teaching Projects

Extended Abstract Teaching students how to develop a single software application in a large team (e.g. with 25 people) is a challenging task. Especially if the software development process is distributed and concurrent, the participants have heterogeneous basic knowledge of software development and are not acquainted with the basics of the used software development approach. We are teaching the...

Atmospheric Aerosols: Formation and Growth

It is widely recognised that the increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane can potentially drive a significant warming process of the earth’s climate. However, a topic of more recent attention is the possibility that increased atmospheric concentrations of aerosol particles might drive a significant radiative forcing process of the planet (see,...

Interactive Methods of Teaching Physics at Technical Universities

The paper presents results of “non-traditional” teaching of the basic course of Physics in the first year of study at the Technical University in Zvolen, specifically teaching via interactive method enriched with problem tasks and experiments. This paper presents also research results of the use of the given method in conditions of Slovak universities and its comparison with traditional methods.

Water Evaporation From Atmospheric Aerosols

With the recent discovery of the ubiquity of organic material in tropospheric aerosols, it has been postulated that the rates of water evaporation and condensation into the aerosols could be affected by thin surfactant films, which could ultimately affect cloud formation. Nathanson et al. have begun to study the effect of water evaporation from sulfuric acid solutions through the short-chain su...
