Description

This paper refers to a scheduled teaching intervention, based on Arduino and the Scratch programming environment, for programming the rotation of small Newton discs. The aim is for students in Primary or Secondary school classes, as well as for University students, to explore concepts of Optics and issues related to elements of Physics. In this context, concepts such as colours and persistence of vision are explored. The project has been published on electronic platforms in Greek. The application and the corresponding teaching intervention in school classrooms can contribute to the feedback from students and teachers regarding learning outcomes.
