Abstract

We describe a physics pedagogy centered on everyday experience and qualitative reasoning that can be a useful supplement for students by linking more formal, separated parts of the traditional curriculum and provide a safety net for teachers in schools that do not have dedicated physics or chemical laboratories. We argue for an extension of practice, an enrichment of the presentation for both sides of the pedagogical transaction, not a radically new method or a replacement for the traditional Italian mode of instruction. This approach is even more relevant in these difficult times.
