As part of the week of general education subjects, the educational and cognitive event “Physical Science and Its Creators” was held in group 11-M (specialty 073 Management) (physics teacher Hrytsyk Tetyana Andriivna). The event considered the following issues: the formation and development of physical knowledge, fundamental physical discoveries, the life and work of outstanding physicists, the significance of physical science and its achievements for the present day.
Informational messages and reports from applicants highlighted the views of Greek philosophers on the structure of the Universe, the atomistic worldview of Leucippus, Democritus, and Epicurus. Considerable attention was paid to the teachings of Aristotle and the analysis of his method of physical research. A separate report was devoted to the outstanding scientist of the ancient world, Archimedes. Interesting presentations were made about the titans of the Renaissance - Leonardo da Vinci and Copernicus, Galileo, as the founder of natural science and new science.
The second part of the event is dedicated to the development of physics in the period from the 17th to the 19th centuries – the era of classical physics. Here, the main attention is paid to the development of individual branches of physics and their creators: Newton, Young, Ampere, Faraday, Maxwell and others.
The third part of the lesson considered the main directions of development of physics of the 20th century, the life and work of its outstanding creators - Einstein, Planck, Roentgen, Marie and Pierre Curie, Rutherford and others. A separate issue was the achievements of Ukrainian physical science and outstanding Ukrainian physicists (V. Vernadsky, I. Puliuy, O. Smakula, O. Zasyadko, M. Kybalchych, Yu. Kondratyuk, O. Antonov, I. Sikorsky, B. Paton).
Students of group 11-M took an active part in the event: Ruda Daryna, Sad Nadiya, Zhuryk Anastasia, Shkinder Viktoriya, Borovets Alina. We thank all participants and wish them success in their further studies of physics.
