IGasES: Ideal Gas Educational Simulation

Image
IGasES  is an open-source educational simulation for the teaching and learning of the First Law of Thermodynamics (FLT) for ideal gases. It addresses upper secondary school students and university beginners. It integrates four levels: The tags of the names and short explanations of four thermodynamic processes: isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, and adiabatic. The tag is chosen with a single click. The digital representation of the above processes with the selection of expansion/compression or heating/cooling depending on the process (chosen by a single click). In order for the phenomenon to evolve, click the Play button (upright). The energy chain model of the selected process, which is a graphic representation of the energy changes the system undergoes. This field appears by clicking the Arrow button, down and left on the screen. In order for the energy chain to evolve, click the Play button (upright). The mathematical formula of the FLT (chosen by a single click, if no...

Participation of “Energy in Education” group at the 6th Technology Transfer Exhibition - Patras Innovation Quest (Patras IQ)

Image
Our group participated at 6th Technology Transfer Exhibition - Patras Innovation Quest (Patras IQ) which was held in Patras from 12 to 14 April 2019. Our participation was about a Renewable Energy Sources laboratory. The laboratory was open every day with the voluntary work of Psyllia Theopisti, Papoutsaki Maria, Ntriza Katerina, 3rd year university students of the Department of Educational Sciences and Early Childhood Education whom we thank warmly. Our participation related with our research group work on Renewable Energy Education in non-formal learning environments and is a follow-up of similar actions at the Patras Science Festival and the Achaia Fest. There was a great response, as during the three days of the exhibition many children with their families showed great interest and visited our laboratory .
