Articoli rivista
Anno XXIX - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1996 Semplici esperimenti di Fisica nella Scuola Media dell’obbligo
This article presents three experiments on sound propagation and structure of matter, requiring simple materials, suited to middle school pupils. […]
Anno XXIII - n.2 (speciale: L'elaboratore nella didattica della fisica) - aprile/giugno 1990 Semplici metodi per interfacciare e usare l’elaboratore come strumento di laboratorio (traduzione di S. Sgrignoli)
I will give some suggestions for presenting informatics to students from a physical point of view instead of a purely algorithmical point of view, with an eye to some interesting aspects of the way the hardware works. I will then examine the possibility of interfacing a microcomputer in simple ways, […]
Anno XLVIII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2015 Sfaccettature dello spazio-tempo nella relatività generale: il calcolo di Regge
One of the most innovative and fruitful contribution to theoretical physics by Tullio Regge (1931-2014) is presented. Known as “Regge Calculus”, it consists of a formulation of the General Relativity developed in the celebrated paper “General Relativity without Coordinates”, published in 1961 in the Nuovo Cimento. […]
Anno XLIII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2010 Si fa presto a dir magnete
Using a magnetic field viewer to show the fields of different kinds of magnets and for measuring the fall of a magnet in a copper tube. […]
Anno LIV – n.4 – ottobre/dicembre 2021 Si può insegnare l’epistemologia a partire dall’inizio dell’insegnamento della fisica?
This article poses the problem of the extension of the study of epistemology in the framework of physics teaching. These elements of epistemology focus on the scientific method, on the difference between the common language and the scientific one, on the intrinsic limits of science, […]
Anno XXVII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1994 Simulazione della disintegrazione radioattiva con il lancio dei dadi.
14 and 15 year old students study the law of exponential decay using an experimental approach, which leads them to perceive analogies and differences between many natural phenomena. […]
Anno XXXIV - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2001 Simulazione in ottica geometrica
Several papers have demonstrated that the student constructs conceptual schemes based on everyday life experience (preconcepts) constitute an obstacle for the scientific learning. So it is important to find strategies to make easy the transition from the everyday life schemes to scientific schemes. […]
Anno XXIII - n.2 (speciale: L'elaboratore nella didattica della fisica) - aprile/giugno 1990 Simulazioni strettamente correlate a esperienze di laboratorio
This paper briefly describes instructional strategies based on computer simulations designed to be used by students in strict connection with laboratory activity. In the belief that computer simulations can help students to grasp the phenomenological aspect of the Physics before they arrive to a formal description of phenomena, […]
Anno L - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2017 Sincronizziamo gli orologi
Synchronizing distant clocks at rest in the same reference frame is far from a trivial issue. A review is presented of the several problems involved and of the practical approaches adopted in the course of time. The conventionalist view is discussed, […]
