A 13-year-old Umbrian boy has just
published his second book on physics.
Gabriele Ciancuto, a student originally from Amelia, is
continuing his passion as a budding popularizer and after the
success of 'Il sistema solare', published just over a year ago,
in 'Physics for the little ones' he invites young readers - the
book is intended for the 6-10 age group - to explore physics
through practical experiments and everyday games.
"Each chapter - explains a note - opens with a stimulating
question that encourages reflection and to develop one's
curiosity.
"Through the observation of everyday games, such as throwing a
ball to explain the concept of speed or the movement of the
swing in the playground to illustrate levers, Gabriele makes
physics accessible and fun. "Each chapter also includes simple
scientific experiments to do at home, such as observing the
propagation of sound using spoons, water and glasses".
Gabriele's passion for science emerged "during elementary
school, thanks to the influence of his teachers, Beatrice and
Alessandra, who encouraged him to explore this fascinating
field".
