Abstract:
The work describes how an aerodynamic experiment is performed and revealing the fact that using a device made out of ordinary materials found in household, it is possible to determine: the speed of a jet of air, the geometric dimensions of the objects used or the form factor. One can also determine the displacement of an object towards the equilibrium position at different temperatures and locations on the globe. It is pointed out that although we are not into the position to achieve all the practical conditions for the experiment, we can extrapolate the theoretical results. Also, it is emphasised the fact that in carrying out a scientific experiment one should take into account all the variables not only one that which is analyzed. The experimental results obtained are important, well as the benefits acquired by an educational process based on a modern didactical approach oriented towards this subject of study.
