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, […]
Anno XXXV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2002 Un’esperienza interessante in 1ª C¹ ovvero le straordinarie virtù di una molla giocattolo
Several experiments with the Slinky lend themselves to an analysis in terms of energy that is rigorous and easily comprehensible at the highschool level. […]
Anno XXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1993 Un’esperienza sul campionamento di un segnale.
Exploring signal sampling techniques through an optical experiment. The reconstruction of an optical image of a simple pattern matched to a diffraction grating is proposed as an example of data analysis by digital method. Correspondence between analysis of time dependent digital signals and of spatial digital functions is outlined. […]
