L’insegnamento della conservazione dell’energia meccanica tramite le simulazioni online PhET
Contenuto principale dell'articolo
Abstract
L’esperienza laboratoriale è uno degli elementi chiave nell’insegnamento della fisica nella scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado. Molte ricerche hanno dimostrato che l’esperienza in laboratorio aumenta la motivazione degli studenti. In Italia sono molte le scuole sprovviste di un laboratorio scientifico, oppure hanno degli strumenti troppo vecchi o sono carenti di personale specializzato. Le simulazioni degli esperimenti di fisica potrebbero aiutare gli studenti ad imparare la fisica attraverso la sperimentazione online. In questo contributo viene presentata una simulazione sulla conservazione dell’energia meccanica tratta dal sito web “Colorado PhET”.
