Recommendations to policy makers and stakeholders on creativity and early years...
Marques, Marta Isabel Bessa; Machado, P. J.; Malheiro, Teresa; Varela, Paulo Idalino Bal??a; Silva, Mario Zamith; Almeida, A. M.; Costa, Manuel F. M.The main aim of this National Report is to provide concrete recommendations to policy makers and stakeholders in Portugal for further practice grounded on the research outcomes of the Creative Little Scientists project about enabling children???s creativity through science and mathematics in preschool and first years of primary education.
Developing experiment based science teaching skills : a lifelong learning oppor...
Costa, Manuel F. M.; Erol, Mustafa; Boyuk, Ugur; Sahingoz, Recep; Harrison, TimModular Mobile Education: Science Experiments (MOBILIM) is an innovative pilot project for the vocational training of science teachers in rural regions of central Turkey supported by the European Commission in the frames of the Leonardo da Vinci programme. In this project, a mobile science laboratory (MSL) was established in order to cope with the great disparities in opportunities between science teaching in u...
Optical triangulation-based microtopographic inspection of surfaces
Costa, Manuel F. M.The non-invasive inspection of surfaces is a major issue in a wide variety of industries and research laboratories. The vast and increasing range of surface types, tolerance requirements and measurement constraints demanded during the last decades represents a major research effort in the development of new methods, systems and metrological strategies. The discreet dimensional evaluation the rugometric characte...
Bot’n roll robotic kit as a learning tool for youngsters
Ribeiro, António Fernando; Lopes, Gil; Pereira, Nino; Cruz, José; Costa, Manuel F. M.Activities involving robotics, projecting assembling and programming robots are in essence hands-on and inquiry-based activities leading to an effective learning of different aspects of science and technology among others. Different approaches have being used to introduce robotics in the education of young children. In this communication we will present an approach that in an inquiry based science education, IB...
Robowiki : um recurso para a robótica educativa em língua portuguesa
Célia, Ribeiro; Clara, Coutinho; Costa, Manuel F. M.Nos anos mais recentes, a Robótica Educativa (RE) tem-se afirmado como uma alternativa às abordagens pedagógicas tradicionais no ensino/aprendizagem de diversos conteúdos curriculares e na aquisição das respectivas competências. No entanto, são ainda relativamente escassos os recursos ao dispor da comunidade educativa, para uma implementação da RE nas salas de aula, um cenário que se agrava quando se considera ...
A robótica educativa como ferramenta pedagógica na resolução de problemas de ma...
Ribeiro, Célia Rosa; Coutinho, Clara Pereira; Costa, Manuel F. M.A Robótica Educativa (RE) tem sido apontada nos últimos anos como uma das ferramentas educativas emergentes de maior potencial. Entre as várias características que lhe são atribuídas, realça-se a sua adequação a uma aprendizagem baseada na resolução de problemas concretos cujos desafios criados promovem o raciocínio e o pensamento crítico de uma forma activa, elevando também os níveis de interesse e motivação d...
Optics and children
Costa, Manuel F. M.; Campos, J. Ayres de; Lira, Madalena; Franco, Sandra; Vazquez-Dorrio, José B.Light and Optics are subjects that “naturally” attracts the interest and sympathy of children even from very early ages. In this communication, we present a serie of experiments and support material designed in this hands-on perspective, to be used to introduce the study of light and optics to kindergarten and early basic school students. Our hands-on investigative approach leads the students, aged 4 to 10 year...
Image processing : application to the characterization of thin films
Costa, Manuel F. M.Image processing and digital image acquisition became on last decades most valuable tools in the characterization of materials. The strong development of micro and nano sciences and technologies on recent years brought special demands to the non-invasive inspection and characterisation of thin films and nanostructures. Digital image processing can be successfully applied to different types of microscopy’ images...
Stress and deformation in tubular metallic parts of auto seats
Costa, Manuel F. M.; Vazquez-Dorrio, José B.; Melo, Francisco Queirós de; Carneiro, Joaquim A. O.In order to assess the structural and material behaviour in particular the deformation and failure in lightweight metallic tubular structural parts of auto seats a pseudo-dynamic procedure was devised. The deformation of circular section tubes subjected to centred transversal force is assessed by rugometric and microtopographic optical inspection.
Surface charaterization of soft contact lenses by atomic force microscopy
Lira, Madalena; Costa, Manuel F. M.; Vazquez-Dorrio, José B.; Serra, Carmen; Oliveira, M. Elisabete; Franco, SandraThe aim of this study is to analyze surface properties of different hydrogel and silicone-hydrogel contact lenses (CL) using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Several commercial CL prepared by the same method of manufacture (cast-moulding), with different monomers composition, water content and surface treatment were used in this study. Surface roughness analysis was performed using AFM on Tapping® Mode using st...
