Galilean Hydrostatic Paradox and Archimedes Law
Traditional pedagogy has underestimated the presence of some mysteries and paradoxes in Physics teaching. Naïve inductivistic approaches in Science education have also contributed to the fact that some important theoretical assumptions are usually discarded. Historical, conceptual and experimenta...

Traditional pedagogy has underestimated the presence of some mysteries and paradoxes in Physics teaching. Naïve inductivistic approaches in Science education have also contributed to the fact that some important theoretical assumptions are usually discarded. Historical, conceptual and experimental analysis of Physics development can positively contribute to restore the importance of such assumptions in physics teaching. In this article we analyze the so called Galilean Hydrostatic Paradox, a mystery directly connected to Archimedes Law of Hydrostatics. Experimental analysis of this theme is presented in a well-documented photographic way and conclusions are drawn as an example to show the extent to which a competent analysis of such hidden assumptions can subvert traditional and orthodox education in Physics. |
