A teaching learning sequence is presented that is designed to help high school pupils gain awareness about the independence of the vertical and horizontal components of free fall motion. The approach we propose is based on the use of experimental activities and computer simulations designed specifically to help pupils reflect on the experiments and extend their analysis to wider physical situations. Insights on Galileo's experiments are given, to frame pupils' work in a historical perspective.

Abstract
A teaching learning sequence is presented that is designed to help high school pupils gain awareness about the independence of the vertical and horizontal components of free fall motion. The approach we propose is based on the use of experimental activities and computer simulations designed specifically to help pupils reflect on the experiments and extend their analysis to wider physical situations. Insights on Galileo's experiments are given, to frame pupils' work in a historical perspective.File in questo prodotto:
