The paper considers an experiment, a demonstration during the lecture in physics, which illustrates anisotropic properties of wood in the microwave range. This experiment is a starting point for a development of module on properties of wood in the microwave range. The paper is quoted among few "editor's pick" papers as a suggested reading.

The chapter presents an overview of international theoretical and empirical findings from the field of motivation of gifted primary and secondary school students, which the author discusses in the light of several studies she has performed in the Slovenian education context. The results reveal that for gifted students both internal and external motivational incentives are important and that they do not differ by motivation structurally from their classmates but in terms of the intensity of expressing their motivational needs. Gifted students do not want a special status at school because of their identification, but they want more respectful and equal relationships, active lessons and more authentic learning.

Although the topic considered in the short article was not a part of the set for development of modules, we established that the problem is fully appropriate for this purpose. When two shadows of two objects in different distances from the screen illuminated by a extended light source approach each other, one shadow spreads toward the other. The phenomenon can be explained in terms of crossecting penumbrae. The explanation is additionally illustrated by coloured penumbrae that appear behind coloured filters used as objects casting shadows.
