The main focus of the multidisciplinary nature of design is to provide users a better life in terms of enabling the products to be safe, usable and pleasurable to use. Therefore, physical pain is always avoided. However, physical pain is involved in our daily lives, not only as an avoided concept, but also as a constructive concept. It is used for functional or hedonic purposes / whether consciously or not. The focus in this research is exploring these &lsquo / used&rsquo / pains, and their relations to product design / in other words, how products are (or how they may be) used or manipulated to use pain instead of avoiding it. Eventually, the aim is to map the pain experience as a constructive element of experience and to come up with a statement for the usage of physical pain in product design as a beneficial tool, instead of just being a tool for pleasure as it has been used in product design till now. In order to explore the pain experience with products, a contexmapping study and a focus group study have been done. The phenomena of &lsquo / good, transitional and bad pain&rsquo / were introduced. Following this, pain experience with products model was proposed utilizing the results of the studies and for the exploration of the implementation of the model in practicum, a generative session study to obtain initial design ideas was done.

This diploma thesis ? Simple Experiments with Products of Nature as a Part of the Thematic Unit Variety of Nature ? deals with the integration of experiment into primary school teaching. The aim of the thesis is to record the range of experiments which are used in didactic materials and other literary sources where teachers can find various experiments. The thesis also focuses on selecting and verifying the set of experiments which might be relevant when teaching natural sciences at primary schools. These selected experiments have been provided with methodological notes and commentaries, which teachers may use as instructions on how to carry out each experiment. For selected experiments worksheets have been made, where pupils can enter their observations. This diploma thesis was solid within the scope of the projects GA JU no. 065/2010/S and 078/2013/S
