This article completes a survey of the physics problems assigned since 1979 in the written tests of the final examinations in the experimental secondary schools. We offer the solution of each problem and, occasionally a short comment. […]

Measure is crucial in science and mathematics because it makes it possible to express systems properties through physical quantities which are fundamental for an early formalization and construction of the scientific method in children. Didactic experiences at primary schools are often focused on the identification of order properties which are necessary for measuring procedures. […]
Photographs of the last transits of Venus across the Sun, shot by amateur astronomers in 2004 and 2012, can be used to measure the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun (AU – Astronomical Unit). The method is simpler – although less precise – than the one proposed by the famous astronomer Edmond Halley about 300 years ago. […]
Problems related to numerical resolution in on-line data acquisition are discussed and different smoothing techniques for data analysis are proposed. […]
