Research activities
Experimentation, teaching and research in the natural sciences.
Laboratory activities
The laboratory provides the practical component of natural science courses taught in the Department of Education and Social Work at the University of Patras. It is fully equipped with the essential laboratory equipment for physics, chemistry and biology, and modern equipment has recently been added across all areas of the natural sciences. The available equipment supports laboratory work for compulsory and elective physics courses, the elective course in science education, and the corresponding courses in biology, chemistry and geology education.
Master’s theses
The laboratory provides experimental support for students’ master’s theses in the programme “Interdisciplinary Approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — STEM in Education”. It offers a suitable environment for experimentation, data collection and measurement, enabling students to analyse their results, draw conclusions and complete comprehensive research theses at postgraduate level.
Undergraduate dissertations
The laboratory provides a suitable setting to support final-year undergraduate students in carrying out their dissertations. It supports a broad range of subjects, including mechanics, electricity, optics, heat, fluid mechanics, kinematics, energy, microscopy and basic chemical reactions.
