Constructing Scientific Understanding Through Contextual TeachingPeter Heering, Daniel Osewold Frank & Timme GmbH, 1 de gen. 2007 - 345 pàgines This volume includes a selection of contributions to the 6th International Conference for the History of Science in Science Education held at the Carl-von-Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg in July 2006. The conference was devoted to discussing the function of historical contexts in science education. Some of the papers in this collection discuss this issue from a theoretical point of view, others describe practical teaching experiences; they cover examples from the fields of astronomy, biology, mathematics, and physics. Bringing them together should make manifest the potential of using historical contexts in science education, in particular in teaching not only science but also the nature of science.

Pàgina 35 - If from the lowest point of a vertical circle, a chord is drawn subtending an are not greater than a quadrant, and if from the two ends of this chord two other chords be drawn to any point on the arc, the time of descent along the two latter chords will be shorter than along the first, and shorter also, by the same amount, than along the lower of these two latter chords.
Pàgina 35 - If from the highest or lowest point in a vertical circle there be drawn any inclined planes meeting the circumference the times of descent along these chords are each equal to the other. On the horizontal line GH construct a vertical circle. From its lowest point — the point of tangency with the horizontal— draw the diameter FA and from the highest point, A, draw inclined planes to B and C, any points whatever on the circumference; then the times of descent along these are equal.
Pàgina 36 - PROBLEMA NOVUM, Ad cujus solutionem Mathematici invitantur. Datis in piano verticali duobus punctis A et .23, assignare mobili M viam AMB per quam gravitate sua descendens, et moveri incipiens a puncto A, brevissimo tempore perveniat ad alterum punctum B...

Pàgina 37 - ... following the publication of this equation, the Bernoulli brothers, Jacques and Jean, published several articles on the cycloid. But we shall hurry on to one final episode in the history of the curve. In June, 1696, Jean Bernoulli proposed a new problem which mathematicians were invited to solve: If two points A and B are given in a vertical plane, to assign to a mobile particle M the path AMB along which, descending under its own weight, it passes from the point A to the point B in the briefest...
