In this paper, a new zeolite/silicone foam for AHP applications was evaluated as a case study of a multidisciplinary teaching approach for addressing a science education experience from the pedagogical point of view. The interdisciplinary approach promotes the improvement of scientific knowledge among different materials science disciplines allowing to develop a performing adsorbent foamed HEX. In such a context, a flipped classroom approach was identified as the most suitable method for the students to develop their individual and collaborative improvement of knowledge. Changing the classroom lesson from teaching to students learning can be an effective strategy for stimulating students’ interest and learning. This approach, based on a 5E teaching model, opens up to an active and dynamic discussion phase of problem solving which, although contextualized on a practical experience, can be effectively extended in wider contexts.

After the Cultural Revolution in the seventeenth century, several poets believed that science was killing the beauty of art and poetry. So, imagination has been believed to be as opposite to scientific method. Fortunately, this point of view has been generally abandoned now, and the important role of imagination in science is finally well recognized. Particularly in the field of material science, the final the structural and dynamical properties of a system are usually unpredictable from their constituents, since they come usullay from the emerging behavior of assemblies constituted by a huge number of building blocks, so imagination is indicated as an essential tool for (i) thinking experiments, (ii) interpretating their results and (iii) preparing novel materials. Finally, recent research activity is reported to show some examples of how imagination can help in setting up smart procedures to prepare novel materials in modern science.

Is it useful for a physicist to read Parmenides’s Poem and more generally philosophy works? In teaching physics, which kind of benefits could come from the study of Eleatic ontology?

In other words, which advantages could the Parmenides Forschung derive from a "physical", or even physicalist, approach in reading Parmenides’ Poem? In this contribution we will try to show that the knowledge of ancient naturalistic speculation and of its relations with modern physics allows on the one hand to clarify the internal structures of physics itself and to overcome the sterile fractures between scientific culture and humanistic culture. On the other hand, for a historian of philosophy, the comparison with physics contents and the assumption of a physical perspective can be a valid hermeneutic tool to overcome some structural exegetic nodes of the Parmenides’ text, first of all that concerning the connection between the first and second part of the Poem, with the problematic inconsistency between the so called Truth and the Doxa, between "the heart of the well-convincing truth" and "the opinions of mortals". In addition, taking a joint philosophical and physical approach could be a valuable resource in teaching both the disciplines, not only in terms of contents, but also in terms of their ability to interest, motivate and engage students. Particularly for physics, this approach requires that the disciplinary contents are proposed only after that students are conscious of the character of necessity within a given theoretical problematichorizon of thought, as well as after explicating the reasons why concepts, methods and theories are formulated, so as to conceive science as a whole and not just as collection of finished products.

This contribution is intended to answer the question of why in teaching approaches it is important to speak about territory? The answer to the question is driven by the consideration that the territory, including the established human activities, encompasses the history, the events and the culture of the people who populated it. On this regard, it should be noted that the relationship between natural elements and human activities that refer to a given territory has a dynamic character since both influence each other and help to write the history of that place. In this framework, the proposed method is used as an interdisciplinary approach to the theme of clay minerals. These latter are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths. They are the main constituents of soils, and have been used by humans since ancient times in agriculture and manufacturing. For this reason, clays played a basic role for the human civilization process since its earliest periods. Clays are recognized amongst the most important rock products, both as raw material and in the form of pottery, bricks, tiles, terra-cotta and many other tools for daily use. This is particular evident in Sicily, where, since ancient times, the availability of local clay sources favoured the diffusion of clay-artefacts and related workshops found over the territory. This paper makes reference to a lecture addressed to university students and includes: i) the description of the main mineralogical features and properties of clay minerals; ii) a brief discussion on the role played by clays in terms of clay-artefacts production in the historical and cultural evolution of the Messina territory; iii) a description of local clay outcrops; iiii) a presentation of the main kilns over the Messina territory, and in particular of unpublished archaeological information on the S. Pier Niceto kilns. The proposed approach aims to increase the interest of students towards the significant aspects that affected the social-economic growth of the Messina’s territory and on the importance that geo-materials had in the technological evolution of its civilization process.

It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious. Her feet are very pretty, but they are not feet of clay. White porcelain feet, if you like. They have been through the fire, and what fire does not destroy, it hardens (Oscar Wilde, Il ritratto di Dorian Gray , BUR, Milano, 2004, p. 217). With these words Oscar Wilde, British poet and novelist, inside of his masterpiece The picture of Dorian Gray , if on the one hand he underlines the value of clay by comparing it to the most precious of materials, that is gold, on the other he manages to admirably summarize the importance of fire within the clay manufacturing process. Taking inspiration from this quote, we can define the clay as one of the most used materials by man, second only to paper. In fact, throughout history, clay, mainly used for building purposes, was also used for the production of decorative objects or as a support for the first forms of writing. The stated objective of this article is precisely to retrace the evolution of clay extraction and processing processes, with particular reference to the industrial basin of Venetico/Fondachello, focusing, in a second time, on the recent challenges in the field of the enhancement of heritage of industrial archeology. In fact, this area, affected by an extraordinary economic expansions after the SecondWorld war, appears today studded with numerous plant for the production of clay in ruing. These structures, testimony of the area’s industrial past, are currently at the center of many initiatives that aim to enhance both materially and culturally. The article is addressed to students of archaeological sciences and aims to highlight the key role that the concept of an educational tour (or field visit) plays. The concept of educational tour in intimately connected to the phenomenon of educational tourism. This phenomenon, used in various pedagogical systems, is considered by experts to be one of the most effective teaching techniques. The educational tourism, by definition, is considered as the meeting point between education and tourism, structuring tourism itself as preparatory activity for the achievement of educational objectives. «Sono i piedi d’argilla che valorizzano l’oro della statua.

Con queste parole Oscar Wilde, poeta e romanziere britannico, all’interno del suo capolavoro Il ritratto di Dorian Gray , se da un lato sottolinea il valore dell’argilla paragonandola al piu pregiato dei materiali, ossia l’oro, dall’altro riesce a sintetizzare mirabilmente l’importanza del fuoco all’interno del processo di lavorazione dell’argilla.

正是泥足使图像的黄金变得珍贵。她的脚很漂亮,但不是泥脚。白瓷脚,如果你喜欢的话。他们经历了火灾,而火灾没有摧毁的东西会变硬(Oscar Wilde,Il ritratto di Dorian Gray,BUR,Milano,2004,第217页)。英国诗人和小说家奥斯卡·王尔德在他的杰作《多里安·格雷的画像》中这样写道,如果他一方面通过将粘土与最珍贵的材料黄金进行比较来强调粘土的价值,另一方面,他成功地总结了火在粘土制造过程中的重要性。从这句话中我们可以将粘土定义为人类使用最多的材料之一,仅次于纸张。事实上,在历史上,主要用于建筑目的的粘土也被用于制作装饰物或作为第一种书写形式的支撑。本文的既定目标正是追溯粘土提取和加工过程的演变,特别是参考Venetico/Fondachello的工业盆地,第二次关注加强工业考古遗产领域的最新挑战。事实上,这个地区在第二次世界大战后受到了非同寻常的经济扩张的影响,今天似乎有许多废墟中的粘土生产工厂。这些结构见证了该地区的工业历史,目前是许多旨在增强物质和文化的举措的中心。这篇文章面向考古科学的学生,旨在强调教育之旅(或实地考察)的概念所发挥的关键作用。教育旅游的概念与教育旅游现象密切相关。专家们认为,这种现象在各种教学系统中都被使用,是最有效的教学技术之一。根据定义,教育旅游被视为教育和旅游之间的交汇点,旅游本身被视为实现教育目标的准备活动。“正是泥足增强了雕像的金色。她的脚很漂亮,但不是泥的。白瓷脚,如果你喜欢的话。他们经历了火灾,而火灾不会摧毁的东西会变硬”(Oscar Wilde,Il ritratto di Dorian Gray,BUR,Milano,2004年,第217页)。英国诗人和小说家奥斯卡·王尔德在其代表作《多里安·格雷肖像》中这样说,一方面通过将粘土与最珍贵的材料黄金进行比较来强调粘土的价值,另一方面又成功地将火在粘土加工过程中的重要性综合起来,令人钦佩。从这句话中我们可以将粘土定义为仅次于纸张的人类最常用的材料之一。事实上,在整个历史上,主要用于建筑目的的粘土也被用于制作装饰性物品或作为第一种书写形式的支撑。本文的既定目标正是追溯粘土提取和加工过程的演变,特别是参考Venetico/Fondachello的工业盆地,稍后重点关注加强工业考古遗产领域的最新挑战。事实上,这个地区在第二次世界大战后受到了非凡的经济扩张的影响,今天似乎点缀着许多生产粘土的工厂,这些工厂现在已经成为废墟。这些结构见证了该地区的工业历史,目前是许多旨在从物质和文化角度加强的举措的中心。这篇文章是针对考古科学的学生的,希望强调教育之旅(或实地考察)概念所发挥的关键作用。教育旅游的概念与教育旅游现象密切相关。专家们认为,这种现象在各种教学系统中都被使用,是最有效的教学技术之一。根据定义,教育旅游被视为教育和旅游之间的交汇点,旅游本身是实现教育目标的一项准备活动。

The main purpose of the work is to identify a training path within a learning model based on the study of the territory. The fundamental assumption of the study is the consideration of the usefulness of frequenting the territory, and of the goods distributed in it, not as an occasional event, but as a didactic practice for the purpose of achieving disciplinary, training and development objectives of the territory. In this frame of reference there is a training course that involves some clay quarries in the Province of Messina that have had and still have a considerable importance for the territory, due to the development of methodologies for improving the properties of clay-based materials. and, consequently, for the cultural and economic exchanges that derive from it. The educational path traced around the following main items: 1) archaeological information on the findings of clay quarries in the area of Venetico and Spadafora; 2) information on the presence of kilns and quarries in the Province of Messina in 1890; 3) use of clay for the production of ceramics, bricks and for the future development of geopolymer products and artefacts and 4) description of the Hoffmann furnace in Venetico which has recently been renovated and enlarged with the creation of classrooms, laboratories and exhibition and meeting spaces. Scopo principale del lavoro e l’individuazione di un percorso formativo in seno a un modello di apprendimento basato sullo studio del territorio. Assunto fondante dello studio e la considerazione dell’utilita di una frequentazione del territorio, e dei beni in esso distribuiti, non come fatto occasionale, ma come prassi didattica ai fini del raggiungimento di obiettivi disciplinari, formativi e di sviluppo del territorio. In questo quadro di riferimento si colloca un percorso formativo che interessa alcune cave di argilla della Provincia di Messina che hanno avuto e hanno ancora oggi una notevole importanza per il territorio, in ragione dello sviluppo delle metodologie per il miglioramento delle proprieta di materiali a base argillosa e, di riflesso, per gli scambi culturali ed economici che ne derivano. Il percorso didattico tracciato si snoda sulle seguenti voci principali: 1) informazioni archeologiche sui ritrovamenti di cave di argilla nella zona di Venetico e Spadafora; 2) notizie sulla presenza di fornaci e cave in Provincia di Messina nel 1890; 3) utilizzo dell’argilla per la realizzazione di ceramiche, laterizi e per lo sviluppo futuro di prodotti e manufatti geopolimerici e 4) descrizione della Fornace Hoffmann di Venetico che e stata recentemente ristrutturata e ampliata con la realizzazione di aule, laboratori e spazi di esposizione e incontro.

Il percorso didattico tracciato si snoda sulle seguenti voci principali: 1) informazioni archeologiche sui ritrovamenti di cave di argilla nella zona di Venetico e Spadafora; 2) notizie sulla presenza di fornaci e cave in Provincia di Messina nel 1890; 3) utilizzo dell’argilla per la realizzazione di ceramiche, laterizi e per lo sviluppo futuro di prodotti e manufatti geopolimerici e 4) descrizione della Fornace Hoffmann di Venetico che e stata recentemente ristrutturata e ampliata con la realizzazione di aule, laboratori e spazi di esposizione e incontro.","PeriodicalId":43431,"journal":{"name":"Atti Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti-Classe di Scienze Fisiche Matematiche e Naturali","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46108487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Preliminary the figure of Abbot Feliciano Scarpellini and the scientific environment in Rome in the first half of the XIX century are introduced. It is then analysed the life and work of the physicist and philosopher Giambattista Pianciani (1784-1862) of the Society of Jesus. Pianciani was in Rome among the most peculiar representatives of that cultural program aimed at countering the theses of Enlightenment materialism through a process of conciliation and justification of scientific discoveries with Catholic doctrine. This apologetic and concordist program started under Pius VII, also continued during the pontificate of Leo XVI. In the wake of this peculiar apologetic program, the controversy that, around the mid-nineteenth century, arose in the Roman College between neotomists and some scientists of the order, for example, Angelo Secchi, is also discussed. Finally, the specific concordist program developed by Pianciani is discussed. This program aimed to reconcile the biblical account of the world’s creation with the scientific results that came from the studies of natural cosmogony.

From the late 1800s to the present day, ionizing radiations played a very important role in fields regarding everyday life and research. In this work, we cover several physical and historical aspects from the EM waves to the particles. In particular, after a brief introduction of electromagnetism and EM spectrum, we talk about some ionizing radiations focusing on their detection and their natural and artificial sources. Furthermore, we show the importance and use of these kind of radiations for medical applications and their biological effects. Finally, we propose the deepening of one of the topics covered through the innovative teaching method of the “flipped classroom” in which the student prepares the lesson as a homework, and then in the classroom develop collaborative and debate activities on the topic previously studied in autonomy.

It is well known that one of the essential functions of education, both in school and at university, is to provide the intellectual tools for a better understanding of society in all its dimensions. In this regard, all disciplines, whether they refer to “human sciences” or to “exact sciences”, can validly contribute to the training process. In particular, it is increasingly believed today that the history of science and technology can provide an important contribution to the teaching of physics, for many reasons. Firstly, because the historical approach helps to understand the processes of evolution of scientific knowledge, the formation of modern rationality and, more generally, the contexts in which societies have evolved. However, the current contents of scientific teachings are characterized by a very modest attention to these aspects and the topics are often proposed as already perfectly constructed and finished, that is, neglecting, if not in many times erasing, the historical processes altogether. Based on these arguments, this work will address the issue of simple machines following a historical approach as a motivating element for students and as a facilitator of learning. In particular, the process we wish to experiment will use the topic known as the five simple machines to test a multifaceted approach, in a ’historic’, ’linguistic-literary’ and ‘didactic applicative’ key, which becomes an innovative learning-functional teaching approach. E ben noto come una delle funzioni essenziali della formazione, sia scolastica che universitaria, sia quella di fornire gli strumenti intellettuali per una migliore comprensione della societa in tutte le sue dimensioni. A questo riguardo tutte le discipline, sia che facciano riferimento alle scienze umane che alle scienze esatte possono validamente concorrere al processo di formazione. In particolare si ritiene sempre piu’ oggi che la storia della scienze e delle tecnologie possa fornire un contributo importante nell’insegnamento della fisica per molteplici motivi. Innanzi tutto, perche l’approccio storico aiuta a comprendere sia i processi di evoluzione delle conoscenze scientifiche e della formazione della razionalita moderna sia, piu’ in generale, i contesti in cui si sono evolute le societa. Pur tuttavia, l’attuale contenuto degli insegnamenti scientifici si caratterizza per una assai modesta attenzione verso questi aspetti e i contenuti vengono spesso proposti come gia perfettamente costruiti e compiuti, ovvero trascurando, se non molte volte cancellando del tutto, gli iter storici.

The paper is part of the debate surrounding the possibilities for advancing the role of Mathematics within STEM education through interdisciplinary approaches. It provides an example of how high school students can engage in tasks of modelling (interdisciplinary approach) directed to promoting connections between Mathematics and ‘Drawing and History of art’. Specifically, the paper describes a teaching practice focused on the theoretical and applicative implications of the process of interpretation and constructionof the Vignola’s geometric method for laying out the Ionic volute.
