Anno XLIV - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2011 A highschool-oriented experimental activity enhances the students understanding of the structures of fields surrounding planar, line and point sources. […]
Anno L - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2017 An application of the Tracker Video Analysis and Modeling Tool software for the study of kinematics is presented. The activity has been tailored to exploit the students’ interest in sports, in order to improve their participation. The software has been used to make it easier to understand the basic concepts of kinematics, […]
Anno XLIX - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 2016 In this article we describe and analyse an experiment on magnetic induction performed using an apparatus inspired by one of the problems proposed in the latest simulation of the final State exam for Physics. The experimental measurements are in good agreement with the mathematical model suggested in the simulation, […]
Anno XLIX - n.3 - luglio/settembre 2016 The availability of low-cost thermal imaging cameras connected to smartphones opens up interesting opportunities in schools. It is now easy to take infrared images and explore phenomena where heating is involved; it is now possible to “see” heat. This article describes some activities carried out in the classroom with a “smart” […]
