El experimento de Michelson y Morley en versión acústica, un trabajo de laboratorio de física universitaria basado en aprendizaje por indagación

Abstract

This article reports a didactic experience in the university classroom within the framework of inquiry-based learning in the physics laboratory. The students generated new questions and hypotheses based on an already built experimental design: an acoustic ultrasound interferometer.To illustrate, two groups of students posed questions and hypotheses concerning the device and modified its original design. This work aspires to show the theoretical and methodological resources employed to develop an experimental wave physics class, making use of available material as well as training in competencies that are the makeing of future teachers or graduates in physical sciences.
