Description of the Experience
The subject that thrill me mostly, and consequently that in which I was most successful, was the electrostatics.
The most interesting thing was that what I have always defined electricity is something much more complex: that is the set of positive and negative charges. These components are able to create spectacular effects, for instance when we get a shock. This is a normal and quite daily experience with a dry weather, but actually it is an exception for the air because from isolating turns in conductor. The atmosphere allows to transfer few quantity of electrons form our body to another object.
Moreover, I liked making those experiments. They were useful to make true the Torricelli’s hypothesis that we studied about the probable reactions of different electrified matters in contact with other object.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
