Sažetak
The role of experimental approach in studying physics has proved its value in different fields of physics and at all teaching levels. We have analysed the contents of physics textbooks intended for the fourth year of learning physics in secondary grammar schools in Croatia which cover practically all subjects of modern physics in a very concise, mostly descriptive way. Faced with the problem how to train our students to transmit the knowledge and understanding of concepts and ideas of modern physics to their pupils in the most effective way we have proposed a relatively simple set of experiments dealing with the physical structure of matter to be introduced in the last year of the undergraduate university courses. These experiments, conducted by the students individually, should make phenomena on the microscopic scale more accessible to them, give them an opportunity to consolidate their elementary knowledge of physics and provide them with the only and probably last opportunity to engage in a process of investigation and to learn the methodology of scientific research.
