Sažetak
In the second half of the 19th century and in the early 20th century many important technical inventions (heat machine, telegraph, Tesla's coil, X-rays) influenced the teaching of physics in high schools. Nowadays some schools are privileged to still have in their possession rich collections of the old equipments, witnesses of a dynamical and innovative teaching. This important heritage is a challenge for a physics teacher who has a big opportunity to introduce it, in his/her way, in the modern teaching of physics. The solutions are different: - to create a school museum - to use some of them for demonstrations - to present them in a web site ( as ex. www.s-gimgrc.kp.edus.si/museo/ ) - to reproduce and propose them at the science centres Our plan is to make these experiments and ideas available to a wider range of community, by presenting them in a suitable manner. We think that students’ interest for physics can be stimulated not only by presenting modern, advanced experiments but also by an appropriate presentation of historical ideas. Our poster presentation wants to be a contribution to the revalorisation and the implementation of the old didactic instruments in the modern teaching of physics.
