The app Earth Space Lab is designed especially for teaching the topic of the Earth as a planet at grammar or elementary schools (geography, physics). The app consists of individual learning objects that can be used independently.
This app was created by Václav Černík ([email protected]) and it's based on his diploma thesis at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in 2017. Any comments can be sent to e-mail [email protected].
Special thanks:
- RNDr. Marek Křížek, Ph.D. – supervisor of the diploma thesis
- RNDr. Jitka Houfková, Ph.D. – opponent of the diploma thesis
