Proposta de sequência didática de um componente curricular de energias eólica para o novo ensino médio: uma contextualização do uso da física para projeto de itinerário formativo em ciências da natureza

Abstract

Recently, the Ministry of Education approved the New National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) for Secondary Education, whose main objective is to offer students a more complete education that is connected with the current reality of the world. Within this context, the proposal for a didactic sequence of a wind energy curriculum component appears as an excellent opportunity to explore the fundamental concepts of physics, while contributing to the formation of young people who are more aware and committed to the environment. Wind energy is one of the most important forms of renewable energy, which uses the power of the wind to generate electricity. Although it is a relatively new technology, wind power is already responsible for 9% of electricity generation in the world and is one of the most viable options to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse effect. In addition, wind energy has great generation potential in coastal regions and inland municipalities. In this context, the proposal of a didactic sequence of a curricular component of wind energies for secondary education is an excellent opportunity to work with physics in a contextualized way. The project may include technical visits to wind farms and renewable energy plants, practical activities in the design and construction of mini wind turbines, and expository classes to discuss historical, technological, social and political contexts related to wind energy. The training itinerary in natural sciences allows the student to independently choose a set of disciplines and contents that interest him to study, deepen and complement his basic training. The proposal for a didactic sequence of a wind energy curriculum component is an interesting option for those students who seek to expand their knowledge and skills, develop innovative projects and collaborate to build a fairer and more sustainable society. Finally, the teaching of Physics is fundamental for us to understand wind energy and its applications. The proposal for a didactic sequence of a curricular component of wind energies for the new high school is an excellent way of approaching complex and relevant themes, awakening the curiosity and creativity of students and contributing to the formation of critical and aware citizens, capable of understand and transform the reality in which we live.
