Result: USING GEOGEBRA AND GOOGLE COLAB FOR TEACHING FUNDAMENTAL THERMODYNAMICS CONCEPTS.
Further Information
We present teaching of some fundamental thermodynamics concepts by means of GeoGebra software and Google Colab platform. Employing these computer tools help students to better understand notions, phenomena and laws that describe them. Additionally, they could make correlations between properties and behaviour of objects and phenomena that we encounter in everyday life. Via GeoGebra, the comportment of gases under different conditions can be explored while explaining how the pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas relate one to each other. The operation of the simulation software is very intuitive and its many accompanying built-in tools assist students in developing their vision over dynamic representations of subjects, concurrently acquiring new knowledge, and expertise and improving their learning motivation. We also created a Python application software on Google Colab platform to process the experimental data collected in the laboratory in the study of the isothermal transformation of an ideal gas. The purpose of this approach is to develop the students' skills both in the investigation of thermal phenomena specific to physics, but also in the use of mathematics and information technology in the simulation of the analyzed system and the processing and interpreting of experimental data. We consider that the inclusion of software tools during classes is an efficient and successful way to improve the physics learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
