Potencialidades da contextualização da temática de radiação utravioleta para o ensino de física na educação básica

Abstract

The teaching of Physics in Basic Education can be improved, approaching topics different from the almost standard curriculum matrix that we find currently, inserting current themes that are relevant to society. In the attempt to present didactic possibilities of approach to the contextualization of the theme of solar radiation for the Teaching of Physics in Basic Education, relating the students' daily life with Modern Physics and Information Technologies, this work was constituted. Being knowledgeable about a given subject enables people to make decisions about what affects their daily lives. This paper presents a proposal that can be used directly in the classroom using the Arduino tool. Arduino is a tool that has simple operation and with which different types of interactive environments can be built. With the aid of an ultraviolet sensor, measurements can be made of the daily index of ultraviolet radiation, and thus bringing together a theme related to public health, daily life, Modern Physics and Information Technology, providing an interactive and dynamic lesson.
