Anno LV – n.1 – gennaio/marzo 2022 Esperimenti spettacolari con scintille e scariche elettriche
Amazing experiments, performed with the first electrostatic machines, showed sparks and electric discharges emanating from charged bodies. The use of more efficient equipment also allowed researchers to investigate the properties of electric discharges, even thanks to specially designed devices, such as the paper and the glass perforators. […]
Anno LV – n.1 – gennaio/marzo 2022 Hai voluto la bicicletta? Un percorso didattico interdisciplinare
Our effort is to teach physics concepts to secondary school students through a laboratory approach, giving a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary view of the topics explained. This article illustrates a didactic project carried out in two third year classes. Starting from a familiar and concrete object such as the bicycle, […]
Anno LIV – n.4 – ottobre/dicembre 2021 Misure del coefficiente di temperatura di resistenza con Arduino
A Wheatstone bridge with digital readout system is discussed and used to measure the temperature coefficient of various types of resistors. The system could also be considered as a linear responsivity thermometer. […]
Anno LIV – n.4 – ottobre/dicembre 2021 Si può insegnare l’epistemologia a partire dall’inizio dell’insegnamento della fisica?
This article poses the problem of the extension of the study of epistemology in the framework of physics teaching. These elements of epistemology focus on the scientific method, on the difference between the common language and the scientific one, on the intrinsic limits of science, […]
Anno LIV – n.4 – ottobre/dicembre 2021 Breve storia dell’italo-americano, Rocco Anthony Petrone, che guidò l’uomo alla conquista della Luna
This brief memoir recalls Rocco Petrone, an ante litteram “brain drain” from Lucania to the United States, then an American citizen, who played a fundamental role in completing, fifty years ago, the mission of man’s first landing on the Moon. […]
