translated from Spanish: What is the physical formula to be a crashing car lord in Fantasilandia?

A bachelor’s and master’s degree in Physics and a PhD in Applied Physics, Ignacio Olavarría says that “Back to the Future”, the 1985 film, was one of the most important in his childhood. Although it was a year away from its release, frequent repetitions on local television motivated him, from a very young boy, to take an interest in this science that seems to be so confusing for many. He believes this should be taught in simple terms, with a narrative that allows him to understand it easily and also motivate young people who commonly only want to reach a grade and pass course.
With the intention of piqued this interest in science, the school reinforcement site Portal Educa and Fantasilandia launched a few days ago an alliance to teach middle school students the subjects that the Ministry of Education requires for the subject of physics.
Although the alliance is designed to be made in person, the contingency forced them to take it to a digital platform that allows them to first see explanatory videos that are then carried out with the roller coaster, the chocadores cars and the pirate ship, among other attractions.
“Many students have visited Fantasilandia and now their experience will help them learn. That’s the idea,” said Gabriel Vera, CEO of Educational Portal, who detailed that since 2012 they have been working as an online learning platform helping schoolchildren improve their performance.
The best formulaThe president of the Chilean Society of Teaching physics, Paula Urrutia, tried the site and ensures that it is a good platform, because from the teaching part “it has a material that is quite suitable, some videos that I liked very much in terms of graphic designs that allow the student to be handled inside the web in a pleasant way that you do not have to look for”. He also reserves that “the student does not necessarily have to be in Fantasilandia to identify some things, such as the positions inside the roller coaster cart or that sort of thing.”
He adds that in order for the student to see it alone, as if to reinforce subjects, the explanation of an incorrect answer could be added, since it does not currently “encourage the student’s reasoning”.
Olavarría adds that he misses a narrative in the story of what he wants to teach. “If they told me that to crash the car next door, my brother who threw the ice cream when we were walking through the park, I have to calculate the crash when he’s somewhere, according to the speed at which he goes, and not go in the direction of what I’m seeing at such a moment. That’s what I miss with the site, the speech and the narrative to be interested in is everything, like, in ‘Back to the Future,'” he says.
