In this one week course the students examine to present experiments in a secondary high school. The cours takes place in three different schools.

ETH Week is an innovative one-week course designed to foster critical thinking and creative learning. Students from all departments as well as professors and external experts will work together in interdisciplinary teams. They will develop interventions that could play a role in solving some of our most pressing global challenges. In 2021, ETH Week will focus on the topic of health and well-being.

Electronic properties of solids and their spectroscopic determination.Chemical analysis of surfaces.Phase transitions at surfaces and in two dimensions.

In the context of an examination lesson conducted and graded at a high school, the candidates provide evidence of the subject-matter-based and didactic skills they have acquired in the course of their training.

This lecture is given in german, but all relevant informations (including the manuscript) are in english. This lecture introduces group theoretical concepts and methods with the aim of showing how to use them for solving problems in atomic, molecular and solid state physics.

During the Internship Physics Didactics students teach 8 lessons in the classes of an internship teaching person. Students develop, test and analyze teaching arrangement under the guidance of a mentor (one of the lecturers).

This lecture will treat key subjects related to phase transitions and critical phenomena, in particular in low dimensional systems, where the Landau theory and the renormalization group must be amended to include topological aspects.

In the mentored work on their subject specialisation, students link high-school and university aspects of the subject, thus strengthening their teaching competence with regard to curriculum decisions and the future development of the tuition. They compile texts under supervision that are directly comprehensible to the targeted readers - generally specialist-subject teachers at high-school level.

In their mentored work on subject didactics, students put into practice the contents of the subject-didactics lectures and go into these in greater depth. Under supervision, they compile tuition materials that are conducive to learning and/or analyse and reflect on certain topics from a subject-based and pedagogical angle.

Introduction to the concepts and tools in physics: mechanics of point-like and rigid bodies, elasticity theory, elements of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, periodic motion and mechanical waves.

Introduction to the way physicists think and work with the help of concept questions, demonstration experiments and problem solving. Wherever possible, applications from mechanics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics from the areas of the degree programmes are taught.
