Sciences and Teaching of Natural Systems

The course is aimed at teaching the basics of the experimental method and the techniques of statistical analysis of experimental data. The course is divided into lectures and laboratory experiences in mechanics, thermodynamics and optics. Akey result of the course is to know the meaning and understand the importance of measuring a physical quantity and its uncertainty. To be able to carry out simple measurements of physical quantities and to present the results in graphical form. To know the concept of probability and statistical analysis of experimental data. The course includes complements of General Physics with the theory necessary to carry out the simple experiments in the laboratory. The experiments carried out also have a didactic value since they can be re-proposed as part of the didactic activities of secondary school. During the course, the student will develop skills in the collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of experimental results. Learning of experimental methods and techniques with a specific didactic focus.
