Physics 01
Model and black cabinet
Model
The aim of this lesson is to give students a personal experience of creating a model and becoming aware of its basic properties. As a modeling object we will take a didactic tool - a black box, which can be made from commonly available materials or printed on a 3D printer. This exercise is inspired by the work of the German physics teacher Horst Petrich.

Vintages or preconceptions
8. and 9. grades Elementary and middle school, 45 minutes
Preconcept: Students can explain the term machine learning.
Aids
Teacher: projection device, presentation
Students: writing utensils, worksheet and black box for each group
What pupils learn
Models are simplifications of complex systems and phenomena and are inherently inaccurate.
Why is it taught
Based on the creation of the model, they will understand the origin of its inaccuracies (distortions).
How do we know if they've learned
They apply methods to explore an unknown system, create a model that simplifies reality, and evaluate its accuracy.
Outputs of the RVP
Physics:
F-9-1-01 will measure, with appropriately chosen measuring instruments, some important physical quantities that characterize substances and bodies
Bloom's taxonomy
Application: Students apply various methods (e.g., magnet, wire) to explore the black box.
Evaluation: They evaluate the accuracy of their black box model and discuss how it could be improved by adding new information or methods.
Creation: They create a model (draw the internal structure) of the black box.
