Full Description
This book is invaluable for teachers and students in high school and junior college who struggle to understand the principles of modern physics and incorporate scientific methods in their lessons. It provides interactive and multidisciplinary approaches that will help prepare present and future generations to face the technological and social challenges they will face. Rather than using a unidirectional didactic approach, the authors - scientists, philosophers, communication experts, science historians and science education innovators - divide the book into two parts; the first part, "Communicating Contemporary Physics", examines how new physics developments affect modern culture, while the second part, "Digital Challenges for Physics Learning", covers physics education research using ICT, plus the experiences of classroom teachers and a range of ideas and projects to innovate physics and STEM teaching.
Contents
1. On the shoulder of giants: the "Dialogue" of Galileo (Michele Camerota).- 2. Galileo: the method of science and the law of falling bodies (Michele Camerota) What physics and all modern science owe to Galileo.- 3. Conceptual and scientific revolutions in the 20th century (Daniele Oriti, Francesco Vissani, Matteo Morganti) Dialogue on the new challenging concepts: space-time, mass, matter, probability, determinism, discretization and fields. Select philosophical issues.- From atoms to Higgs boson (Pierluigi Bortignon, Steven Goldfarb, Suchita Kulkarni) The path to discovery. The Higgs field associated with the Higgs boson gives mass to the fundamental particles. But what next.
