Teaching thermal physics by touching

The study of the physical mechanisms involved in heat transfer phenomena is of great pedagogical importance due to their incidence in many aspects of our life. In this work we describe how a daily experience such as the touch of hot and cool objects with the hands can be used to learn concepts relat...

Sumario:The study of the physical mechanisms involved in heat transfer phenomena is of great pedagogical importance due to their incidence in many aspects of our life. In this work we describe how a daily experience such as the touch of hot and cool objects with the hands can be used to learn concepts related to stationary and transient heat propagation in
