Desarrollo de habilidades de modelación desde las ecuaciones más simples de la Hidrodinámica

description

[EN] The development of modeling skills is a very important issue in Science teaching nowadays. The present workillustrates how, from the simplest equations of hydrodynamics, it is possible to contribute to this end. Bernoulliand continuity equations are included in Physics syllabi of secondary and university levels, and can be seen as alinking between general and professional education. By means of the proposed project, students are taken throughgeneral stages which are usually present in any engineering project or research work based on modeling and simu-lation. such as the formulation of the problem, the statement of the Physics model, a computational simulationand the comparison between theory and experiments. This kind of project allows for the development of modelingskills and also to some other typical skills of the scientist's and engineer's pro les nowadays, such as tting andgraphing analysis. It is common to see that secondary and rst year university courses do not contribute muchto the formation of modeling skills, instead they rather contribute to particular skills from the perspective of thedi erent subjects. On the other hand, students are usually more motivated for the modeling of real world situationsthan for idealized ones.
