Modern portable data acquisition systems (RTL) allow easy performing didactical experiments on environmental sciences and metereology. This simple anemometer, added to exhisting thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer, offers the possibility of using a simple and cheap portable meteo-station. […]
We built a cheap apparatus for measuring Planck’s constant through the photoelectric effect. The measurements are performed in the usual way: for each wavelength of the incident light the maximum energy of the photoelectrons is found by stopping them with an electric potential. […]
Appello delle associazioni disciplinari della scuola per la qualità della formazione degli insegnanti di scuola secondaria […]
This article briefly describes software packages for physics teaching developed by 25 university and secondary school teachers, researchers and undergraduate students at 8 Italian Universities. The underlying pedagogical and informatical choices are also discussed. The software is the output of the first period of activity of CNR’s Strategical Project for New Technologies and Didactical Innovation, […]
This paper presents application examples of a program to analyze the experimental data. The program is divided in two indipendent logical sequences. The first one guides the student to analyze normally distributed experimental results; the second one allows to find the best function which correlates two sets of data. […]
