[ESP-ENG] 📽 Sueños sobre Hielo: Una chica que con física pudo cumplir su sueño ⛸ 🏆 // 📽 Dreams on Ice: A girl with physics was able to fulfil her dream ⛸ 🏆

As education professionals, our job is to find the necessary strategies to achieve meaningful learning; it is no secret that the lack of motivation towards the exact sciences has always been very high and unfortunately in recent years it has been growing. That is why, as a teacher of physics, I have resorted to certain films that help with the motivation Image of my property made in Canvafor science.

Pero ¿cómo puede Sueños sobre Hielo puede ayudar en la enseñanza de la física? Lo que ocurre es que a menudo me encuentro con comentarios como yo no quiero estudiar ingeniería, mucho menos voy a ser científico, así que no le veo la utilidad a esta materia, olvidando que la física es la ciencia fundamental del universo que se encarga de darle una explicación a todos los fenómenos naturales.

Hablando un poco sobre la película, se trata de una producción de Walt Disney Pictures estrenada en el año 2005, es una película juvenil de género comedia romántica. La película trata sobre Casey, una niña muy aplicada en los estudios cuya meta es poder obtener una beca para estudiar física en la universidad de Harvard. Obviamente Casey era una estudiante brillante en la preparatoria y mama era una profesora de literatura, que era la encargada de planear todo aquel brillante futuro.

But how can Dreams on Ice help in the teaching of physics? What happens is that I often come across comments like I don't want to study engineering, much less be a scientist, so I don't see the use of this subject, forgetting that physics is the fundamental science of the universe that is responsible for giving an explanation to all natural phenomena.

Talking a bit about the film, it is a Walt Disney Pictures production released in 2005, it is a young romantic comedy film. The film is about Casey, a very studious girl whose goal is to get a scholarship to study physics at Harvard University. Casey was obviously a brilliant student in high school and her mother was a literature teacher, who was in charge of planning her bright future.

However, in order to obtain the scholarship, Casey had to carry out an extraordinary and outstanding project; it is there, where she decides to carry out a personal work on figure skating, with the aim of proving that there are formulas and concepts of physics in the inertia of the skaters. When the development of the project begins, the young girl has to get involved with the skaters, record videos and even skate to test her theories and with these activities Casey starts to get more and more involved with skating. Gradually she realises that she is passionate about skating, but it turns out to be a very expensive sport, she doesn't have the means and decides to turn to physics to pay for it.

Casey meets Tina who is a former skating champion and her daughter Jennifer, along with all the skating girls who are trained by Tina. It is there, where Casey decides to pay for her skating lessons with physics; that is, using a simulator and the equations of inertia she helped them to improve their skating techniques; it is really amazing to see how these concepts that many call "useless" helped these girls to position themselves among the first places in the competitions.

Eventually Casey becomes a skater, although this does not please her mother as she feels that women can do better things; however, Casey decides to leave behind the dreams of Harvard, which are really her mother's dreams, and go in search of her own dream. Although she has a great gift for skating, she has to face many problems along the way to becoming a professional skater.

This film, first of all, teaches us that young people are thinking beings and that parents and teachers should stimulate this critical and liberating thinking, it is more important to carry out a profession or trade with ethics, love and commitment; than to dedicate ourselves to what others want, but to feel frustrated, bitter and acting badly, so that we harm other people. On the other hand, this film shows us the importance of this science in everything we do, as well as how important it is to know even the most basic principles to be able to develop other tasks; unfortunately the film came to an end without showing us how Casey would do in her career as a skater putting into practice all her knowledge of physics.
