Learning objectives
The course deals with Physics themes that are fundamental for the scientific training of the future School teachers by means of a guided training module in which in addition to the excecution of simple experiments, particular attention is devoted to the preparation of the experiments themselves (e.g. Experiment Description Sheet), the physical set up of the experiments (with different materials and instruments), the definition and the comparison of the experimental methods and procedures, the analysis and the discussion of the experimental data, and the preparation of laboratory and teaching reports. Students are guided to experiments and design instruction strategies aimed at helping high school pupils in understanding physics. They acquire familiarity with both traditional and new teaching tools and multimedia and technologies.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Mathematical knowledge and skills learned in the Bachelor's degree are required. The pre-requisites of physics consist of the laws of classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
The knowledge of Physics 2 topics (electricity and electromagnetic waves) are useful (but not necessary) requirements.
Program
During the course the main theoretical and experimental aspects of classical mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism will be presented and discussed, together with the main physical quantities and laws, as well as the experimental method, measurement tools and procedures and error analysis.
LESSONS
- Theory of errors and mechanical references
- Thermology and calorimetry
- Principle of Archimedes and density of bodies
- Electricity and theory of circuits
- Principles of geometric optics
- Principles of wave optics
LABORATORY
- Design and preparation of setup for sessions laboratory
- Preparation of laboratory data sheets -
Analysis and discussion of experimental data
EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS
- Verification of Hooke's Law
- Deviation and distribution of forces in simple machines
- Determination of "g" (simple pendulum)
- Principle of Archimedes and fluids
- Calorimeter of mixtures (heat capacity and specific heats)
- Mechanical equivalent of the heat
- Measurement of resistances, verification of Kirchoff's laws, and voltage divider
- Geometric optics (lens equation, model of the eye, microscope, ...)
- Wave optics ( interference and diffraction)
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The course will be delivered in lectures and laboratory sessions. Most of the hours of the course will be dedicated to the laboratory experiences, some of which are designed by the students themselves.
The laboratory sessions will be held in the presence in the Cyber Physics laboratory. The necessary strategy for an effective learning of the methodologies and contents of the experimental part consists in actively and regularly participating in the laboratory activities (participation in the laboratory sessions is therefore mandatory).
For a profitable learning of the topics covered in the lectures, the teacher will provide all the necessary material (handouts, slides, notes, ...) in addition to the correct bibliographic references.
Learning assessment procedures
The final exam consists of two parts:
(i) a written part, which consists in a laboratory report about one of the experiments performed during the year
(ii) an oral examination on the topics learned in the classes
The admission to the oral exam is subject to the approval of the laboratory report.
Evaluation criteria
During the exam, students must show that:
- they are able to autonomously prepare teaching experimental sessions about physics
- they know and understand the fundamental concepts and formulas of Experimental Error Theory, measurements instruments and experimental methodology
- they are familiar with physical quantities and laws discussed during the course
- they have a good capability of realizing an experiment, in particular, about experimental sessions performed during the course
- they are able to analyse experimental data by means of common softwares and discuss them as function of measurement procedures and experimental parameters used.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade will be the average of the grade of the laboratory report and of the oral exam.
Exam language
English
Type D and Type F activities
Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Modules taught at the University of Verona
Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).
Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.
2. CLA certificate or language equivalency
In addition to those required by the curriculum/study plan, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFUs are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.
Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.

3. Transversal skills
Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. CONTAMINATION LAB
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.
Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).
Find out more: https://www.univr.it/clabverona
PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
It's online Erasmus + - double joint degree a.y. 2024/2025
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
For the presentation of the LA and subsequent recognition of CFUs, please refer to the International Mobility Regulations.

Final examination regulations
Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).
The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.
Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.
Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.
The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.
The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.
The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.
For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
