Convendría revisar toda la bibliografía producida por Peter Heering y por Falk Riess sobre
el uso de replicación de experimentos históricos para la enseñanza contemporánea de la
ciencia. En sus páginas web aparece una bibliografía completa de su producción académica.
Puede ser útil metodológicamente.

Sería bueno también hacer una búsqueda amplia en revistas como Science & Education, a
ver qué sale sobre Galileo.

LIBROS DE TEXTO
Un par de libros particularmente relevantes en el siglo XX por su apuesta pedagógica
innovadora son los del Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC Physics – traducido en
Colombia al español) o del (Harvard) Project Physics (proyecto liderado por Gerald Holton
entre otros).
