Uma proposta para o ensino de Física na cozinha

Abstract

The construction of this Final Course Project (FCP) is based on the assumption that all listed and developed activities have a daily and timeless nature, aiming to correlate the kitchen, the individual, and the learning of physics in the preparation of daily meals. The use of the kitchen as a context for learning allows it to be the experimental environment in various areas of science experience. With individuality in recipe execution as one of the focal points, there arises the need for the individual to have the opportunity to nourish themselves correctly, without depending on others, in the preparation of their meals. In a second plan, but with the interest in building an observational foundation, the focus is on showing the physical phenomena present in the actions and transformations that occur in the preparation of these foods. The visualization of concepts such as hydrostatics, electricity, thermal, and optics allows, at this moment, integration into the preparation. Nevertheless, there is the possibility of new perceptions being obtained, depending solely on how the action is visualized. Turning abstraction into something tangible for practical learning is the core of this work because the use of fractional and differentiated methodological approaches allows for participative and, above all, constructivist interaction in the point of knowledge acquisition. Therefore, the proposed approach has, above all, the propagation of knowledge in a functional manner.
