Do you know that we travel through space on the planet Earth that moves and rotates very fast and we do not perceive it?
Or do you notice effects of his movement? What is our place in the universe? How does the universe work? ... What are its fundamental laws? Questions, many questions! With the spirit of discoverers, our curiosity motivates us to seek answers, explore our surroundings, enter the unknown and find new knowledge. We receive as true treasures the contributions of those who preceded us in the adventure that is science, physics in particular. We associate these treasures with the scientists who found them. Knowing the discoverers, the knowledge of physics becomes more human. We place ourselves in what was the thought of his contemporaries to contrast and recognize the extraordinary of his innovative achievements, how they impacted at the time, and then taking a step back, we value what effect they have had as remarkable results, what transcends his time and endures until us. and perhaps even far into the future. With this course for science lovers, without prerequisites, acquire a better image and perspective of the universe, its order, the cosmos, ways of thinking, fundamental principles to better understand what exists, even to marvel at our own existence. Learning objectives: • Recognize and name those who have been the most outstanding discoveries in the understanding of the physical universe from the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the end of the nineteenth century, and how this knowledge was found. • Associate the knowledge of physics to the scientists who made the discoveries, to the time and to the thought established in the environment in which these characters lived. • Identify the impact of the discoveries at the time of the leading scientists, when they made their contributions; and think critically about the significance of this impact to the present day. • Form and build an informed image of how wonderful the physical universe is, the cosmos of which we are a part. • Discover new ways of thinking about the world around us, recognizing the intrinsic beauty of physical laws and principles that make our existence possible. • Find the motivation to continue enriching our knowledge about the physical universe, about the work activation of scientists in their research and about its impact on our daily lives. Prerequisites: There are no special prerequisites for this course, although basic school training is helpful. You just need a positive attitude and willingness to acquire new enriching knowledge in the culture, not for the immediate benefit of acquiring a new practical skill, but… simply for the joy and pleasure of learning more about the universe and fundamental physical laws, for that matter! which it is possible for us humans to exist! Supplementary material: All the videos and texts you found have been developed by the teacher, especially for this course. The complementary materials used are in the public domain that you can consult through the Internet, such as "open" web pages where you will find scientific results from NASA, CERN, etc. although it is useful to have a basic school education.
