A utilização do simulador PHET numa aula de Termodinâmica

Abstract

This monograph consists of showing that the mechanisms presented by information technology have a great application in education, mainly in the way of teaching students. Simulators are a great teaching and learning tool, as they allow the student to visualize the phenomena and laws that are presented in the classroom, and these classes can be worked on using simulators available on the internet. Phet is a free simulator that can be used without any major difficulties, as you do not need a computer with an advanced configuration to use it. In the work we show how this simulator can be applied in a thermo dynamics class, serving as a pedagogical tool for use in the classroom, mainly focusing on the first law of thermodynamics and the equation of states of ideal gases.
