Anno XXXII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1999 Un microfono on-line per “vedere” la riflessione del suono in un tubo per “sentire” l’accelerazione di gravità
On-line data acquisition systems have disclosed new possibilities for teaching physics laboratory. A cheap and easy apparatus, as the one here described, allows to easily perform interesting experiments or to re-design old experiments making them suitable for schools that have no laboratory, […]
Anno LVI - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2023 Un modello esponenziale per l’attenuazione della luce
It is empirical evidence that some substances absorb light radiation by transmitting only a fraction of it. The reduction in the intensity of light transmitted through a medium seems to depend on the thickness of the substance. However, in what way? […]
Anno XXXV - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2002 Un modello fisico: il lago ghiacciato
We have created and studied a model of the cooling and freezing dynamics of a lake when outside temperatures are below 0 ºC. […]
Anno XLV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2012 Un modello idraulico del ciclo di Carnot
The performance of an ideal hydraulic engine that transfers water between two reservoirs at different heights is compared with that of a reversible Carnot engine. The interest of this analogy between thermodynamic and mechanical quantities for a Karlsruhe type of teaching approach is discussed. […]
Anno XLVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2013 Un modulo CLIL in Fisica: “La relatività ristretta di A. Einstein”. Sperimentazioni di moduli CLIL nel Liceo Scientifico “E. Fermi” di Brindisi
The teachers ran an 8 hour CLIL course in Physics, specifically looking at Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. The students were a final year class at Liceo Scientifico. The article explains the different stages of the project, highlighting the teaching techniques employed, […]
Anno XLII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2009 Un motore alternativo a vapore senza parti in movimento!
The working of a toy ‘chug-chug’ motor boat is described and scientifically analysed. […]
