Proposta de experimentos de baixo custo para o ensino de física: uma abordagem criativa e acessível

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to propose and explore experimental activities in teaching Physics in High School, especially when used with low-cost materials. In a constantly evolving educational context, it is essential to address strategies that promote meaningful learning, arousing students' interest and providing a deeper understanding of physical concepts. By using accessible materials, we seek not only to save resources, but also to democratize access to scientific knowledge, encouraging the active participation of students in the learning process. This work proposes carrying out an educational contest or experimental activity as part of a case study to investigate its impacts on the learning process and the development of students' skills. By involving students in a more practical and interactive approach, we seek to explore how this methodology can stimulate curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking, contributing to a more enriching and motivating learning experience. 3 activity proposals will be presented for the gymkhana in the areas of mechanics, with the free fall experiment, oscillatory movements through the simple pendulum and electrodynamics with the electromagnet and its magnetic properties. These activities will provide practical opportunities for students to explore fundamental physics concepts and carry out quantitative analyzes of the results obtained and discussed among themselves, and compared with theoretical prediction.
