Anno XXIV - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1991 Un corso di aggiornamento sull’Educazione scientifica nella scuola elementare
In this report we describe an example of inservice training course for primary school teachers. The course was carried out in a university physics laboratory. The teachers were engaged with “raw” problems. It is interesting to note that facing a new situation the behaviour of teachers is not very different from the behaviour of pupils. […]
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; […]
