Wizyta w Perugii - wspomnienia

Wizyta w Liceo Scientifico Statale Galileo Galilei w Perugii, Dzień 5

The participants wrote about their experinces in the online project diary.

The robotics and programming workshops offered the partners the possibility to see two products made by the host students. They explained the way in which, using sensors, the robot can draw the map of a specific room.

The day ended with a special meeting where students could celebrated having spent a week-time together, improving their skills by sharing and collaborating in performing the tasks.

The morning began with a bird behaviour observation activity connected to the migration phenomenon on Trasimeno lake.

An ornithologist explained the birds' monitoring procedure and showed the participants some good practice exemples.

In the afternoon the participants went to a documentary visit to Assisi where they could analyse the way in which the principle of perspective evolved during periods of time at different painters.

The last activity of the day involved the partners in a flight simulating procedure in a hang glider.

In the morning three workshops were performed simultaneously on Leonardo's flight craft modelling, escape room tasks and writing the online project diary.

In the afternoon a vivid history lesson about the middle-aged underground town captured the participants in a misterious interactive tour of Perugia centre.

The two workshops at the P.O.S.T. on Leo's bridge challenge and drones taking off boosted the in-depth knowledge about the flight principles. The town perspective at the top of one of the towers was outstanding.

The partners went to Florence for a documetary visit. 

They could analyse the mechanical principles of some of the most remarkable machineries designed based on Leonardo's codices in Leonardo da Vinci Museum. The interactive exhibits allowed the visitors to experiment themselves some movement and flight principles using the 50 life-size machines, modeled after Leonardo’s designs.

The guided visit of the Uffizzi Gallery allowed the participants to get in touch with valuable information about the outstanding collections of impressive sculptures and paintings from the Middle Ages to the Modern period. One of the room  is very famous thanks to some masterpieces by young Leonardo da Vinci, painted before he moved to Milan in 1482 in the service of Duke Ludovico il Moro.

On Monday morning an opening ceremony took place where the host and guests had the possibilities to express their expectations for the exchange meeting. The partners visited the host school, Liceo Scientifico Statale Galileo Galilei and met the management staff.

The sport activities encouraged partners to know each other better for a future collaboration in performing the learning activities.

The partners presented their collaborative tasks on the two topics chosen: the human eye and the optical prism, designed using genial.ly app and under international supervision.

In the afternoon the partners met the local authorities and paid a visit to Umbria Gallery where they could observe and understand the usage of the principle of proportion in the realization process of the exposed exhibits.

Meeting in Perugia Travelling day, 13th October

On Sunday all partners gathered in Perugia for a week-meeting exchange programme.
Our hosts met us and we spent a nice and warm evening in the families.

Leonardo da Vinci - The Visionary Task 2 Eye - presentations

Leonardo da Vinci - The Visionary Task 1 Why the sky is blue? How does the light travel? Light and colour - presentations

As an artist who dealt in light, colour and movement, Leonardo da Vinci wanted to understand how nature produces all these phenomena. 

Do you know that he was trying to find the answer why the sky is blue? In the Codex Leicester, Leonardo da Vinci, writing after 1508, noted, "I say that the blue which is seen in the atmosphere is not its own color, but is caused by the heated moisture having evaporated into the most minute, imperceptible particle, which beams of the solar rays attract and cause to seem luminous against the deep, intense darkness of the region of fire that forms a covering above them." He also was the first who thought about eye lenses. He made a sketch of the anemometer an instrument for measuring the speed of wind. 

Da Vinci made the following notes: "For measuring distance traversed per hour with the force of the wind. Here a clock for showing time is required." Leonardo described water as "the vehicle of nature" ("vetturale di natura"), believing water to be to the world what blood is to our bodies. As Leonardo understood it, water circulated according to fixed rules. It fell as rain or snow, springs from the ground, and runs in streams and rivers to the vast reservoir of the seas. 

• Why is the sky blue? 
• Why do we see things of a certain color? 
• How can it make a rainbow? 
• How does the light travel? 
• Play with prism.

Workshop about holograms

Today we have created plastic pyramids for holographic illusion that makes the image on the screen appear as if it is a 3D hologram.

A hologram is a physical structure that uses light diffraction to make an image; the image can appear to be three-dimensional.

 

Experiments with light / Eksperymenty - światło

Set a coin on a flat surface like a table. Place the base of a clear drinking glass over the coin. Fill the glass with water. Can you still see the coin through the side of the glass? It’s disappeared!

 

When the cup is filled with water, the penny disappears. This happens because of refraction. When light bounces off of an object, it reaches our eyes and we see the object. As light travels through the sides of the glass and the water, it’s refracted and never reaches our eyes, which makes the penny seems to disappear.

Why

• Light bends when it passes from one medium (water) into another medium of a different density (air).

• This bending of light, called refraction, causes the apparent position of the coin to change to a shallower position.

• The light bends when it passes from water to air on top of the water.

• It does the same thing when it passes through the glass, making the coin appear to be closer to you.

• As a result, you see two images of the coin.

Why the sky is blue?

How to control light with water?

Observe the laminar flow water stream coming out of the bottle. When the water is in laminar flow the water stream acts just like fiber optic and carries the light. When the light beam hits the water stream, the laser light gets reflected inside the stream.
