• Establish setups for physics experiments, demonstrate how they work, and outline their possibilities related to different subjects covered by the curriculum of the Danish secondary education system, and propose several activities which are possible using these particular setups
• Write manuals which help and direct the students to work through different exercises with the equipment
• Supervise students with their studies of the theoretical background for the exercise
• Supervise students in assessing and making numerical estimates of the uncertainties involved in the exercises
• Supervise collaborative behavior in group activities
