Description
The experiment of a cylinder rolled on a string that falls vertically while unrolling is used to contextualize the teaching of the equation of motion of a body that turns around an axis with fixed orientation. The activity with students is led on the model-theoretical framework of science developed by Giere in the adaptation made by Izquierdo. The students read the position of the cylinder with time in images of a real motion and are oriented to develop a model, whose predictions are checked against the experimental result. This activity is being applied to beginner graduate students of Physics.
