If Your School Is Old Enough
Riccardi, Pierfrancesco; Pellegrino, Francesco; Romano, Vittorio
Physics Teacher, v60 n9 p738-739 Dec 2022
The Physics Teacher has published over the years many inspiring papers with an historical slant and we agree with Thomas B. Greenslade, who recently wrote that teaching physics is about "integrating physics with human culture.… if we are going to leave a lasting impact on our students, we should do more than teach them pure physics." Some of these papers describe scientific tours in places where famous scientists lived and worked. In one of these papers, we read, "There is something very special about standing in the place where scientific history was made or seeing an instrument that was used to make an important discovery." We had the same feeling, but without moving from our place.
