Science teaching and learning are incomplete without practical practises. The majority of school laboratories nowadays are well-equipped with experimental instruments and computer-based experimentation systems (Vernier, Pasco). Our main research question is whether using all of this equipment makes physics teaching more efficient. The aim of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of teacher-led laboratory work and experiments for students in different types of schools. Physics is an experimental science, and the most effective way to validate theoretical principles is through laboratory work. Students, like scholars, need to be able to evaluate their own thoughts. What methods do we need to improve or enrich students’ scientific knowledge by the use of experiments? In the material of school curricula, examples of how to design learning results of hands-on experiments as well as computer-based experiments will be discussed.
