Physics competitions for learners of primary schools in Slovenia

Rovšek, Barbara (author), Repnik, Robert (author)

We are going to present our experiences with physics competitions for young learners in Slovene primary schools. We will describe our 3-level organizational format of competitions. At the last, national level, competitors have to solve theoretical and experimental problems. We will give reasons for having and keeping the experimental part at the last level; we will show examples of results and comment achievements of learners at experimental vs. theoretical part and show also frequency of physics topics, having a role in experimental problems in competition. An example of experimental problem at competition will be given.
