Anno LI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2018 La misura della costante di Planck: una proposta di attività laboratoriale
In the 2014/2015 school year, the Respighi Scientific High School started the “Fare Fisica: Planck 2.0” (Making Physics: Planck 2.0) project, aiming to challenge our best students thanks to the use of the laboratory. For this purpose we chose a modern physics experiment: the measurement of the Planck constant by means of the characteristic voltage – current of a LED. […]
Anno XXIX - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1996 La radio a cristallo
After describing the working principles of the crystal radio, the author puts them into practice designing, assembling and testing a simple radio system. Didactic suggestions are given. […]
Anno XLV - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2012 La radio a cristallo: un progetto e una ricerca
The so called crystal radio is a simple receiver that can generate strong interest and emotions. Starting with the improvised ‘Blue Gillette blade’ detector used in the mythical ‘foxhole radios’ by the American soldiers during WWII, we explore some new and unusual detectors that can be assembled ‘in the kitchen’. […]
Anno XXIV - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1991 La relazione di laboratorio
Can we assume that a good lab report should contain some typical features? This is an attempt to settle the question in the case of practical work based on hypothetical-deductive methods. […]
Anno XLIX - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2016 La relazione tra potenza e velocità nel ciclismo
This paper is a summary of a project prepared by an Italian student for the final State exam of Liceo Scientifico. The aim of the work is to understand fluid friction and rolling resistance involved in cycling. A simple physical model has been developed and it has been subsequently compared with experimental data collected by a tachometer and a power meter. […]
Anno XLVII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2014 La statistica con la macchina di Galton
This work proposes an example of experimental approach for the treatment of statistic matters for last classes of the secondary school. Through the construction of Galton’s machine, the validity of the central limit theorem has been shown and as the distribution of the random experimental data is described to the best by the Gauss’curve. […]
Anno XLIX - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2016 La suscettività magnetica al variare della temperatura
We present an experiment to measure the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility of a dia-magnetic material such as pyrolityc graphite. Pyrolityc graphite is a typical diamagnetic material and can levitate in a strong magnetic field. the levitation height was changed by varying the pyrolityc graphite temperature using a lighter. […]
Anno XXIII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1990 La valutazione dell’ingrandimento angolare negli strumenti ottici
This paper analyses an experimental method by which laws of angular magnification, for common optical instruments, are pointed out. Kepler’s and Galilei’s telescopes simple and compound microscopes are analysed with the aid of a TV camera and a monitor. Image sizes are measured on the monitor before and after instrument magnification; […]
Anno XXIX - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1996 La velocità della luce
A short history of the measurement of the velocity of light from Galileo to our days. with particular reference to Foucault’s method, which has been used in an experiment for didactic purpose. […]
Anno XLV - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2012 Laboratorio di Microscopia a Scansione attuato via Internet: una esperienza nel Progetto Lauree Scientifiche a Padova
Using an educational SPM driven by a PC that supports a VNC-server and a motorized webcam we set up an internet controlled RemoteLab SPM. Trained highschool students supervised by their teachers selected the sample to be analyzed, controlled the PC that drove the SPM and performed the measurements and the image analyses in remote mode. […]
Anno XLVI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2013 Laboratorio didattico controllato in remoto
Remotely controlled laboratories (RCL) allow a user to connect from place A to a real experiment carried out in place B. These experiments can be carried out without booking and without needing to download special software. Describing the details of an experiment we give an example of the working principle of this technology […]
