Proposta de eletiva: mudanças climáticas e o ensino de Física uma abordagem em termodinâmica

Abstract

This monograph presents a proposal for an elective course for high school physics teachers who aim to teach subjects with a major impact on society. The proposal, adapted to the New High School (NEM), highlights climate change and its consequences, with an emphasis on teaching thermodynamics. The aim is to contextualize concepts of pressure, temperature and heat in extreme weather events such as heavy rains, melting glaciers, more intense hurricane seasons and prolonged droughts. The work contains a review of the literature on climate change, global warming, heat islands, New High School (NEM), the Common National Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Science-Technology-Society-Environment approach (CTSA). The elective course proposal is in accordance with the Elective Curricular Units (UCE) of the State of Ceará and skills recommended by the BNCC. It is expected that high school physics teachers can apply this proposal in order to promote more contextualized classes with great relevance in the daily lives of students, raising their awareness of environmental issues.
