Experimentos de Física com materiais de baixo custo e a melhoria na aprendizagem dos alunos

Abstract

Considering the use of low cost materials an important resource for students' learning and consinderirs to the casily acquiring materials then expressed a desire to conduct this research. It is clear that the use of experiments facilitate student learning about contents worked on in the classroom and encourage their participation in the experiments which favors the learning of the subject. Aiming to bring the School Physical Science Physics even though one is different from another, but nevertheless are closely linked, we sought to unite the knowledge taught in physics classes with the intent of linking theory and practice through research seeking applied scientific, give students obtaining of elements that foster understanding and the handle of machines and technological devices providing opportunities to them a broad knowledge of physics and it worked. We know that technology is needed in the present day and its presence in the classroom has been a constant, because through it the practice of activities becomes simpler. However, one must keep in mind that there are still schools that do not have the technological resources that makes us rethink our practices in the classroom particularly in the discipline of physics in question, given that it requires the concrete to allow students to be aware of the full subject. Physics in high school should be crafted so that students can have direct contact with science, for only then they will manifest the desire to know it more deeply and seek to unravel its mysteries. It is necessary for students to investigate and understand that only thus might represent it. To do so, they must have direct contact with physics through experiments to link the theory to the practice, which surely will approach the student of science itself. Being confident of the importance of physics in our lives as well as recognizing the importance of using experiments in the application of discipline aiming at the good development and student learning has developed this work. In work done with high school students in classroom with experiments it was found that learning was satisfactory, because they expressed themselves willing to perform the experiments aiming to see the result, which proves that the use of practice is important and satisfactory. To give theoretical support to the said topic we sought reasons in studies GALIAZZI (2001), WISNIEWSKI (1990), PCNEM (1998), Brodin (1978), PCN (1998), among others, seeking support to the theme. It is hoped through this work show the physics professors who do not use performing experiments in the classroom that it is an important resource that leads students to understand the content explained in practice, because They’ve a real idea the subject studied.
