This research aims at designing a teaching approach to understand CO2 influence on temperature, as accessible as possible. We first analyse the most common approaches, which led us to question the relevance of some experiments on radiative properties of solids, then extrapolated to gases. We show that this generalisation is not obvious at all for students, and thus deserves empirical evidence....
Abstract. In this poster, few school projects are presented which helps to combine theoretical knowledge and students’ creative and innovative skills in STEM activities. The topic is applied in Physics classroom and in practical outdoor activities with the Science Club students. The activities are based on taking and analysis of astrophotos, designing of simple rovers and measuring devices...
A Teaching-Learning Sequence, designed to promote scientific practices in high school students, is presented. The TLS included laboratory experiences on linear motion using low-cost tools, as Arduino, which were easy to replicate in other schools. The focus was on the process of laboratory work, the use of different representations and the development of arguments based on evidence....
This presentation describes the results of design and implementation of an educational laboratory on Old Quantum Theory (OQT), consisting of 5 afternoon meetings with 36 high-school students and 9 teachers, held in early 2023. The course was aimed to propose an approach to the OQT which is coherent, meaningful, and historically correct, without radically changing the physics contents, the...
In this presentation we showcase a novel approach to interdisciplinary education in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), grounded in the field of Quantum Technologies (QT). We present the findings from a workshop undertaken with 40 PhD students, structured through the culturo-scientific storytelling. Using the interactive Quantum Decide Game, in which students debate the possible futures...
Recent studies on astronomy teaching, considering the Brazilian context, have pointed out problems that make it impossible for students to learn. Among those, the area of teacher training stands out above all, and its real difficulties in developing the teaching of Astronomy. In this way, we seek in this paper to present a study developed in a Brazilian school about the implementation of a...
Algebra has a special and fundamental feature in the teaching of kinematics. The study was conducted with high school teachers teaching physical science from different types of schools and with different backgrounds. An open-ended questionnaire was distributed to them, and they voluntarily participated in the study. The study investigated their perceptions of their pedagogy of teaching...
By teaching measurement uncertainties students in middle school should gain competences in critical thinking, conducting experiments and analysing results in a proper way. In the first author’s master thesis, a teaching concept for the beginning of natural science classes was developed and evaluated in a middle school in Vienna. The concept was evaluated and improved in three cycles using the...
In this research we intend to present Ausubel's Significant Learning (1980) as a central theme, linked to the construction of PET bottle rockets for teaching Newton's Third Law in a first-year high school class, with 32 students, from a public school in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Based on the empirical knowledge of the students on the subject, educational activities were planned and...
Prospective Primary Teachers (PPT) education requires activities to produce competence, crucially in producing conceptual change, from common sense ideas to a scientific vision of phenomena. Test -in/out and research-based proposals as formative tools seem useful to identify the learning knots of specific topics and to support professional development of PPT. An in-out test on electric...
One of the basic concepts to understand several topics of optics is the reflexion of light. The design of experiment related to reflection of light contribute to understand the physics in a specific case the study and construction of a kaleidoscope is a funny, interesting and easy activity for the students in basic levels or high school. In this contribution we can understand the process of...
The aim of this action research was to improve the mastery of pre-service science teachers in designing and implementing inquiry-based physics experiments. The implementation had three phases; i.theoretical information for inquiry, ii.implementation of teacher-prepared experiments, and iii.design and implementation of the participants’ own experiments. Data was gathered through reflection...
Single-particle entanglement requires at least two degrees of freedom for the particle that is used to make a nonfactorizable superposition. Using a two-slit experiment with horizontal and vertical polarizers over each slit, respectively, we illustrate how one measures at the slits to create an entangled state, followed by a delayed-choice placement of a second polarizer (before the photons...
In Europe, there is a strong push for the development of an industry around Quantum Technologies (QT). To this end, it is crucial to develop a workforce consisting not only of Physicists, but also those able to create and market companies and products: engineers and businesspeople. We report on a novel course designed using the Quantum Competence Framework to provide transparency between...
This work summarizes a project-based learning experience around electricity and magnetism at the university level. The challenge for students was to build a mechanical balance with the capacity of measure the mass of different objects using a relationship between voltage and mass without using a microprocessor. The typical solution of this project must be relied on mechanical and...
We report the result of a collaboration among Universities, Schools, and Institutions to increase interest in new tools and learning environments. To address this issue, we provide scientific and didactic support to teachers through different kinds of training sessions to introduce innovative didactic methodologies for teaching and learning. The project involved a training course both in...
This research focuses on the educational experiment of Interdisciplinary Lesson Study, carried out with 15-year-old students in Italy on the energy transformations. The teaching was carried out following the IBSE model of 5E and involving teachers from several disciplines. The theoretical lens used to read the data is the Lotman’s idea of Semiophere revisited in the educational context. It...
This work presents the photoelectric effect and the electromagnetic spectrum topic from a Physics course in High School learned through the study of the implementation of spectroscopy techniques in Art analysis. In general, students have difficulties with Physics, especially when the topics are within the framework of contemporary Physics, either due to the complications inherent to the...
An interdisciplinary teaching activity in the Physics laboratory is described here using the hands-on methodology to experiment with high school students, an interdisciplinary learning crunch focused on the Fibonacci sequence. Students were involved in the equivalent resistance calculation of an infinite two-dimensional electrical circuit. In the laboratory, they built a system of resistances...
Empowering young learners to create a sustainable future is critical in educating future responsible citizens. Green education can also act as a vehicle to inspire the next generation of students to pursue a career in science. Under the umbrella of green education, difficult physics concepts can be introduced and explained within a more interesting context, relevant to the everyday (and...
