Inquiry in Physics Classes by Means of Remote Experiments

The utilization of Internet accessible real laboratories within inquiry-based learning can participate in critical situation solution in physics education. The paper presents the results of the research among Slovak primary school students providing their inquiry by means of three remote meteorological stations. Our aim was to prove the positive influence of inquiry-based learning and remote experiments on students’ knowledge by means of the project assignment. We approved the positive shift in their knowledge, mainly in the tasks aimed at application of acquired experimental skills. Furthermore the students revealed predominantly positive attitudes to remote experimentation.
