Anno XLII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2009 Un densimetro… ad acqua e zucchero
We propose a simple way to classify bodies of different density, based on the buoyancy of solid bodies in a partially saturated mixture of sugar in water. The experiment requires a cup of water, sugar (or salt) and small plastic bodies with different densities and can be performed in class or given as a task at home. […]
Anno XXVII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1994 Un elettroscopio Nuffield a microbilancia come un’alternativa all’elettroscopio a foglie d’oro nell’insegnamento dell’elettrostatica. (Traduzione da School Science Review, vol. 71, n. 257, Giugno 1990, a cura di Matilde Cilento)
A new approach to the teaching of electrostatics is described which avoids the well-known conceptual difficulties of the gold leaf electroscope. Simple equipment is used which the pupils can make for themselves for a few pence in a few minutes; and the experiments are both spectacular and fun. […]
Anno L - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2017 Un esempio di prova ‘esperta’ in Fisica
An up-to-date and effective teaching should develop skills in students. To assess skills, real-world tasks are required. This paper will show you how a closed question task can be turned into a skilled task. […]
Anno XXVII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1994 Un esempio di utilizzo di una piccola stazione meteorologica
A simple meteorological station, connected on-line to a personal computer, has been used at the same time by teachers in physics and science, with students of high level school, in a scientific Liceum. Within the physics course, student made some hardware/software test of the automatic acquisition system; […]
Anno XXVIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1995 Un’esperienza con differenze di potenziale variabili nel tempo
After introducing the concept of electric potential difference to students in the last year of secondary school, an experiment using a variable frequency generator, an oscilloscope and a loudspeaker allowed them to “see” and “hear” variable potential differences. The experiment was the starting point for an empirical introduction to decomposing electrical signals into sinusoidal components. […]
Anno XLIX - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2016 Un’esperienza di Alternanza Scuola Lavoro
The article is about a recent innovative experience of ‘work-related learning’ which took place in the school year 2015-2016 and involved a third class of Liceo Cecioni, a high school with a scientific specialization. The whole class was involved simultaneously. Our students were equipped with a professional accelerometer VectorNav VN-100: starting from the time series containing the three-axis accelerometer measurements they had to reconstruct, […]
