Learning activity details

First of all we meet online via Skype: Turkish students from Erzurum Türk Telekom Nurettin Topçu Sosyal Bilimler Lisesi with their teachers of Physics and English and Romanian students from Grigore Moisil National College with their teaches of Physics.
After this,we will proceed to present the experiments: thermodynamics, mechanics, optics, electricity.
One by one, the Romanian students presented them for their Turkish colleagues:steam turbine, pendulum motion, electric current, diffraction of light and microscopy.The Turkish students asked questions and calculate the gravitational acceleration in our lab by using the pendulum and the data from LoggerLite.
We prepared and apply a questionnaire regarding the relation of the students with Physics.
The Romanian students will complete their self-evaluation rubrics.
