Using Inquiry based learning in Eratosthenes experiment

Using Inquiry based learning in Eratosthenes experiment

blog.scientix.eu

In this post I would like to share the experiences I had with my students with who I conducted the Eratosthenes experiment. During the implementation of this experiment I ran guidelines of Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) which are available on the ISE portal. To carry out this experiment students were using tablets.Inquiry based learning can be applied to a range of subjects which are being taught in schools, but it is also possible to use this method of teaching for project-oriented topics that are interdisciplinary.An example of that is the Eratosthe...

Ivan Turgenev Was Distrusted by the Left and the Right

Ivan Turgenev Was Distrusted by the Left and the Right

Ivan Turgenev is not as popular as he once was—at least not in the West. Gustave Flaubert considered him “a master.” “The more I study you, the more your skill leaves me gaping,” he wrote the slightly older novelist in 1863. William Dean Howells wrote in 1895 that life “showed itself to me in different colors” after reading Turgenev. “Who else but Turgenev,” Howells continued, “ever felt all the rich, sad meaning of the night air drawing in at the open window, of the fires burning in the darkness on the distant fields?”The Russian left and right both distrusted him after the publicat...

The scholar and the fencing master: The exchanges between Joseph Justus Scaliger and Ludolph van Ceulen on the circle quadrature

The scholar and the fencing master: The exchanges between Joseph Justus Scaliger and Ludolph van Ceulen on the circle quadrature

sciencedirect.com

In Chapter 21 of Vanden Circkel (On the Circle) [Van Ceulen, 1596], the arithmetic teacher and fencing master Ludolph van Ceulen published his analysis of 16 propositions which had been submitted to him by an anonymous “highly learned man”. In this paper, the author of the propositions will be identified as the classicist and humanist Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609), who lived in the city of Leiden, just like Van Ceulen. The whole Chapter 21 of Van Ceulen’s Vanden Circkel turns out to be a criticism of Scaliger’s Cyclometrica (1594), a work which includes a false circle quadr...

The Painful Price of Becoming Jackie Chan

The Painful Price of Becoming Jackie Chan

newrepublic.com

There are many ways to tell the story of Jackie Chan. He is the heir to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the comic grace of his movements leaving audiences in laughing wonder. He’s also the heir to Bruce Lee: If Lee broke old stereotypes about the Asian man being frail and craven, then Chan reinvented him once more, offering across dozens of movies a consistent character who was almost childlike in his cheerfulness, known as much for his winking smile as for the fury of his fists. Before 1995’s Rumble in the Bronx made him a household name in America, he was a filmmaker’s film...

Imposter: The Strange Case of the Life and Afterlife of Michel Ney, Field Marshal of France, and Peter Stuart Ney, Schoolmaster of the Carolinas

Whoever he is, he lies in a graveyard behind an unimposing brick church, the Third Creek Presbyterian in rural Cleveland, North Carolina, an hour or so northeast of Charlotte. It’s a country of woods and farms, narrow blacktop roads that wind across creek valleys and then open into flat straighta...

Celebrate the mathematics of Emmy Noether

Emmy Noether was a force in mathematics — and knew it. She was fully confident in her capabilities and ideas. Yet a century on, those ideas, and their contribution to science, often go unnoticed. Most physicists are aware of her fundamental theorem, which puts symmetry at the heart of physical la...

Charles James Fox, Valiant Voice for Liberty

Wartime provides the toughest test for a defender of liberty. That’s when governments everywhere tend to censor, jail, and even execute opponents. Charles James Fox became a legend for defending liberty during not one but two major wars. Uniquely among great British political figures, he spent al...
