Anno XLVIII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2015 È possibile sparare un proiettile attorno alla Luna?
If you were on the moon and tried to shoot a gun, would the bullet fire? And if so, in absence of air could an appropriate bullet reach a speed fast enough to orbit the Moon? Making use of considerations about mechanics, […]
Anno XXVIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1995 Elaborazione dei dati sperimentali: la cosiddetta “teoria degli errori”
We examine several “myths” of physics teaching that usually lead teachers in school to devote too much time to the treatment of inessential aspects to the detriment of more fundamental arguments. Among these we discuss the importance of numerical approximations, significant digits, […]
Anno XLIV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2011 Energia dal vento. Esperienza didattica in un Istituto Professionale
Introducing the physics of wind turbines in a vocational school: from prior knowledge through experimental work to educational results. […]
Anno LI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2018 Energia immagazzinata da un condensatore carico
The law that expresses the energy stored in a charged capacitor is obtained by an elementary algebraic calculation related to a simple discrete mechanical model. This model can be used in education, in a secondary school, as an alternative to continuous models that use integral calculus. […]
Anno XLVIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2015 Esperienza con i raggi cosmici
The aim of this work is to show the didactic and scientific potentialities of the AMD5 detectors used in the ADA project (Astroparticle Detector Array)[1] for the introduction of cosmic-ray physics in the last year of Liceo scientifico. The dependence of cosmic rays on solar activity and atmospheric parameters were observed and interpreted. […]
Anno XXIX - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1996 Esperienze didattiche con programmi di simulazione astronomica
This article describes some useful experiences made in the teaching of physics through the use of astronomical simulation software. […]
Anno XXVI - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1993 Esperimenti didattici su proprietà della materia.
Some non conventional experiments on thermometry and water density carried out in lower secondary school are described. A novel development of basic research on free convection in water was suggested by the analysis and discussion with children of the features of a “wrong thermometer”. […]
