Abstract

Rad se bavi integracijom teme klimatskih promjena u nastavu fizike, s posebnim naglaskom na koncept valova kao ključan alat za razumijevanje prijenosa energije sa Sunca na Zemlju i njenih učinaka na klimu. Klimatske promjene, kao jedan od najvećih izazova 21. stoljeća, zahtijevaju interdisciplinarni pristup u obrazovanju, pri čemu fizika igra centralnu ulogu zahvaljujući svojoj sposobnosti da objasni procese apsorpcije, emisije, refleksije i refrakcije elektromagnetskih valova. U radu su opisani pokusi koji demonstriraju kako različiti faktori, poput boje površine i prisutnosti “atmosferskog” pokrova, utječu na brzinu zagrijavanja i hlađenja, čime se na jednostavan i praktičan način ilustrira „efekt staklenika“. Izvođenjem ovih pokusa, učenici imaju priliku aktivno sudjelovati u istraživanju prirodnih pojava, razvijajući pritom kritičko razmišljanje i sposobnost samostalnog donošenja zaključaka. Takav pristup potiče učenike na povezivanje apstraktnih teorijskih koncepta s konkretnim primjerima iz svakodnevnog života. Na taj se način povećava njihova motivacija za učenje i sudjelovanje u rješavanju globalnih izazova.

Abstract (english)

The diploma thesis deals with the integration of the topic of climate change into physics teaching, with special emphasis on the concept of waves as a key tool for understanding the transfer of energy from the Sun to the Earth and its effects on the climate. Climate change, as one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century, requires an interdisciplinary approach in education, where physics plays a central role thanks to its ability to explain the processes of absorption, emission, reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves. The thesis describes experiments that demonstrate how various factors, such as the color of the surface and the presence of an "atmospheric" cover, affect the speed of heating and cooling, thus illustrating the greenhouse effect in a simple and practical way. Through the performance of these experiments, students can actively participate in the research of natural phenomena, while developing critical thinking and the ability to draw conclusions independently. Such an approach encourages students to connect abstract theoretical concepts with concrete examples from everyday life, thus increasing their motivation to learn and participate in solving global challenges.
