Learning activities and methodology
Lectures, where the theoretical concepts are explained The lecturer provide a file with the following information (1 week in advance) - Main topics to be discussed during the session - Chapters/sections in each of the text books provided in the bibliography were the student can read about these topics Recitations (~ 40 students divide in 2-3 people groups) to solve problems. The main skills to be developed in these activities are: - To understand the statement of the problem (for instance drawing an scheme that summarizes the statement) - To identify the physical phenomenon involved in the statement and the physical laws related to it. - To develop a strategy to reach the objective (for instance breaking the problem in small sub-problems). - To be careful in the use of mathematics - To analyze the result (is the final number reasonable?, are the dimensions consistent?) Small works focused to the search of scientific information in different sources (mainly internet). Laboratory sessions (~ 24 students divide in 2 people groups) The main skills to be developed in this activity are: - To understand that physics is an experimental science and they can reproduce the laws that have been theoretically explained in the lectures - To use scientific instruments and to be careful in its operation - To be careful in the acquisition of the experimental data - To learn the basis of the management of a scientific data set - To write a report with the main results of the experiment - To reason in a critical way these results: have we achieve the goals of the experiment?
