Saranin, Vladimir; Keldyshev, Denis; Ivanov, Yuriy – Physics Education, 2019
The article presents the results of an experimental study on the motion of a neodymium magnet on an inclined duralumin plate. During experiments, the time of motion was measured, and the steady-state velocity of the magnet motion was determined. To measure the time, a robotic set was used, which made it possible to measure the time of the motion…

Wu, Ting; Albion, Peter – Educational Technology & Society, 2019
Facing calls for greater emphasis on STEM education in primary school classrooms, teachers may be anxious because of limited exposure to STEM in their own education. The Australian Curriculum: Technologies is new and many teachers are not familiar with its content. Hence both in-service and pre-service teachers (PSTs) require preparation. This…
