Approching the concept of atmospheric pressure : an interview based on Torricelli's barometer
Résumé
The ambition of our study is to highlight spontaneous reasoning involved in hydrostatic problems and to identify key steps in students' learning processes that could be useful for teaching hydrostatics. More specifically, this article aims at observing and modifying the spontaneous reasonings involved in the interpretation of Torricelli's experiment (the mercury barometer). Our study consists of three forty-minute interviews during which several experiments are either performed or presented to a student.
