Anno XXXVII - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2004 Le Nane Bianche, ovvero una “favola moderna”
As an appropriate conclusion of the physics course, a scheme is suggested for one or more lessons on white dwarfs, including some history and some theory. […]
Anno XXVI - n.2 - aprile/giugno 1993 Le Olimpiadi di Fisica in Francia, un concorso per risvegliare l’interesse per la fisica
This article describes the goals, motivations and organization of the French National Physics Olympiads that began in the school year 1991-1992 and reports the Statutes of the competition. […]
Anno XXXVII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2004 Le orbite ellittiche e il Cabri Géomètre
The software Cabri Géomètre and a geometrical method essentially due to Richard Feynman are used to developa didactical approach towards Kepler’s first law (the law of elliptical orbits), starting from Newton’s gravitational law 1/R2. […]
Anno XL - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2007 Le oscillazioni di un sistema massa-molla, seconda puntata
Two small magnets applied to a simple spring-mass system offer remarkable insight into non-linear oscillation phenomena. We observed amplitude jumps and hysteresis in forced oscillations but not the transition to chaotic motions because the system, after a more or less complicated transitory, […]
Anno XXIII - n.3 - luglio/settembre 1990 Le proprietà termiche dei materiali. II – Schemi di conoscenza di studenti ed insegnanti
Schemes of common sense knowledge of Italian students and teachers were inferred from the answers to a paper-and-pencil test concerning real-life situations involving thermal phenomena. Concept maps drawn from the test show that the schemes are richer and less detached from the scientific framework than generally supposed. […]
Anno XXIII - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 1990 Le proprietà termiche della materia. I – Nozioni di senso comune di studenti ed insegnanti
Schemes of commonsense knowledge of Italian students and teachers have been inferred by analyzing the answer to a paper and pencil test whose items are centered about real life situations involving thermal phenomena. The analysis, performed by the use of concept maps, […]
