Proposta didática para o ensino de energias renováveis na educação básica

Abstract

This work refers to a qualitative research from which a didactic sequence in the form of a workshop on the theme Renewable Energies was constructed and applied. The workshop was applied in a public school of basic education and included both the theoretical discussion of the subject and the implementation of practical activities, through the construction of solar powered toy cars built with low cost materials. The didactic sequence was designed with the purpose of supporting Physics teachers interested in approaching the subject in their classes, aiming to contribute both to the understanding of the physical concepts involved in the operation of the solar toy cars and the environmental aspects, making students aware of the environmental conservation to ensure a better standard of living for future generations. The results obtained from the application of pre and posttest and the student involvement in the proposed activities contributed to the understanding of the students' level of knowledge about the subject and their interest in learning physical concepts through the construction of the solar toy cars.
