O ensino de Física na educação básica usando como motivação a determinação da aceleração gravitacional

Abstract

This work was developed with the objective of assisting the teaching practice in the understanding of physical phenomena studied by students of basic education and using an apostille (Educational Product) that contains six topics of physics topics, which is part of the curriculum of high school students. The work is based on stories, simple demonstrations of equations, questionnaires, simple experimental practices and fixation exercises. The choice of gravitational acceleration was intentional because it is the first constant that the students have contact with and the most used in the initial curricular subjects, because without it it is impossible to determine the time of fall of an abandoned body, the thrust caused by a liquid, the weight of any mass etc. In this way, we propose its determination as a teaching / learning tool, seeking to develop: motivation, teamwork, initiative, creativity, observation, data analysis and critical reading. For this, we chose the following topics to compose the educational product, namely: Strength Weight, Wave, Free Fall, Hydrostatic, Simple Pendulum and Pulleys. Thus, we seek to use the experimental practice to determine the local gravitational acceleration to teach the physical phenomenon involved in each subject studied.
