Abstract

Real experiments play an indispensable role in Physics and Science Education. When designing remote laboratories, teachers have the objective to propose to students significant experiments that allow rigorous analysis. To achieve this goal, a custom kit of “home” experiments has been designed, created and employed with students, suitable for the contents of a Laboratory course. The kit experiments were designed to match the learning goals of a general laboratory course in remote teaching. The kit has been tested with 35 undergraduate students and 50 high school students. Teaching material has been created that can supplement high school teachers in carrying out some activities. Student survey results at the end of the courses indicate that the critical learning goals were met, student satisfaction with the remote lab was maintained, and successful collaboration via video-conferencing breakout rooms was achieved.
