Anno XXXVII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2004 La “bottiglia zampillante” di Anacleto 2003
Every year the Olympiad Group of the Association for the Teaching of Physics suggests to high school students a non-competitive physics test, the ‘Anacleto Games’. The test consists in answering a series of questions and making an experiment. Although the activity is suggested at a very elementary degree, […]
Anno XXXV - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2002 La circuitazione del campo gravitazionale determinata sperimentalmente
Using a simple apparatus built with low-cost and easy to find materials, we measure the line integral of the earth’s gravitational field along a closed path and we find that its value is null. […]
Anno XXXIX - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2006 La classe in moto: analisi di una corsa
Students running a race were timed at fixed distances, the measured data were plotted as position vs time diagrams and analysed from a kinematic point of view. The students were at the centre of the learning process and participated enthusiastically in this learning experience. […]
Anno XLIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2010 La conservazione dell’energia nel tiro con l’arco
The article describes a simple but effective experiment on energy conservation. The experiment was performed in the school physics lab using the Tracker program and an archers’ bow. […]
Anno XLII - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2009 La cosa e la misura
‘A mass hangs from a spring’, ‘Light is pure energy’, ‘Electric charge flows through a conductor’. In each of these sentences the name of an object is substituted by the name of a physical quantity that describes it. We discuss whether such formulations are justified and show that the first sentence is not inadmissible, […]
