Anno XXXVII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2004 Costruire i diagrammi di fase dai dati sperimentali: una proposta didattica
An educational laboratory activity on phase diagrams based on computer online experiments and problem solving is presented. The phase diagrams are at the base of many technological processes involving materials with peculiar properties with which artifacts of our everyday life are produced. […]
Anno XLV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2012 Costruire un’unità didattica secondo metodologia CLIL: testimonianza di un’esperienza
A teacher reports his experience in an integrated ‘physics plus english’ course promoted by the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) project that introduces mixed teaching of institutional courses and foreign languages in secondary schools. […]
Anno XXIII - n.2 (speciale: L'elaboratore nella didattica della fisica) - aprile/giugno 1990 Costruzione di modelli: un software per la meccanica newtoniana
A teaching approach to Newtonian mechanics emphasizing dynamical modelling is presented. The approach extensively uses a software allowing students to simulate motions in one dimension and to relate observational kinematics characteristic to dynamical interaction models. An example of how the software can be used in teaching is also discussed. […]
Anno XXXIX - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2006 Da Leonardo da Vinci alla nanotribologia: storia delle ricerche e delle teorie sui fenomeni d’attrito
The most important topics and results of research on friction, from antiquity to now, are outlined: the early laws and theories, from Leonardo to Amontons and Coulomb; the theory of lubrication and the models of rolling friction from 1840 to 1930; […]
Anno XL - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2007 Da Leonardo da Vinci alla nanotribologia: storia delle ricerche e delle teorie sui fenomeni d’attrito (Seconda parte)
The most important topics and results of research on friction, from antiquity to now, are outlined: the early laws and theories, from Leonardo to Amontons and Coulomb; the theory of lubrication and the models of rolling friction from 1840 to 1930; […]
Anno XXXII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1999 Da una lampadina alle proprietà elettriche del tungsteno:un tassello sperimentale per la didattica della fisica
Data obtained by simple measurements of the characteristics current-tension of an incandescent commercial bycicle lamp are analized to recognize the electrical transport properties of its tungsten filament, giving the opportunity to explore an important property of the metals in the classroom. […]
Anno XXXVI - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2003 Dal radar alla risonanza magnetica nucleare
A brief report of the history of the discovery of Nuclear magnetic resonance, which underlines the important effect on the post-war world physics in the field of the basic research work on microwaves and electronics done at the MIT ‘Radiation Laboratory’. […]
