However, the cost of professional kits in the Czech Republic is still very expensive<br \/>\nfor many schools. The basic equipment for one student workplace in the case of professional kits<br \/>\nsuch as Vernier, Pasco or Coach costs around 800\u2009euros. In this paper some physics experiments in<br \/>\nwhich a computer, or a tablet with Microsoft Windows, is used as the measuring device, along with<br \/>\navailable physical devices such as a laser pointer, a solar cell or an electret microphone, are<br \/>\npresented as suitable and alternative ways to carry out lab work. We show that it is possible to<br \/>\nperform very simple school experiments (both as a central demonstration and as individual<br \/>\nexperimentation), in which high accuracy and clear final conclusions can be achieved at a very low<br \/>\ncost.
