The paper presents the analysis of the microwave transmission through the wood. The wood has a distinctive anisotropic structure as fibers and annual rings are clearly seen. Therefore the transition of microwaves through the wood is easily related to the optics of any anisotropic material. The paper discusses various optical properties in a microwave region.

The whole title: The influence of 16-year-old students' gender, mental abilities, and motivation on their reading and drawing submicrorepresentations achievements. Submicrorepresentations (SMRs) are a powerful tool for identifying misconceptions of chemical concepts and for generating proper mental models of chemical phenomena in students’ long-term memory during chemical education. The main purpose of the study was to determine which independent variables have the maximum influence on students’ reading and drawing SMRs.

The paper presents the analysis of light spectra, transmitted through the anisotropic material found between crossed or parallel polarizers. Both spectra are exactly complementary and present also complementary colors. The experimental setup, which uses simple school laboratory equipment, allows for a definition of the complementary color taking into account the light source as well. For understanding of textures found in liquid crystals, this paper presents the introductory experiment that explains the experimental method.

As we mentioned in the project description, it often happens that new, not foreseen problems arise. In physics education, it is especially important to observe and explain phenomena in nature. The article reports such observation. The flight from Barcelona to Frankfurt provided an observation of a rare situation where the image of the Sun and the rising Moon can be observed at the same side of the sky.

The paper reports a new, fast and efficient method for probing students' conceptual understanding. A development of students' conceptual understanding can be probed during the lecture and therefore the method enables immediate corrections of possible misconceptions.
