Astronomia prática: site com roteiros experimentais para o ensino de astronomia no Ensino Médio

Abstract

Information and communication technologies, such as Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), are a reality in the lives of most people. In our days, almost everybody has accesses to internet, and the ICTs have great potential to be used in educational processes. Currently, experiments, games, simulations, videos and other types of media, are at usage in the learning process, and they can be easily available on computers, smartphones, tablets, so on. This work presents a web site, with experimental procedures for astronomy teaching at high school. Although a lot of information are available in the internet, it is easy to verify the fact that many gaps in astronomy teaching still open in Brazil, as experimental procedures to astronomy teaching at high school. This work, as well the educational product, will provide many information, for teachers and students, about astronomy and practical experiment to be easily done, alone or in a class. We hope that the informations available in the web site will facilitate the teaching-learning process, since a better interaction between the theory and the student's daily life will be better established.
