Verificação do uso do software Tracker como ferramenta de ensino das leis de Newton em escolas públicas

Abstract

In this work we present a proposal for using the TRACKER software as a tool to facilitate the teaching/learning of Physics, using Newtonian dynamics as a scenario. Two typical situations were studied, where videos of body movements were produced and subsequently processed in the software. Our results show that in fact TRACKER can be used in these situations, facilitating the absorption of the content by students. The objective of the work is to demonstrate to Physics teachers in public schools the possibility of a more interesting class for their students, as the software is not difficult to use and can be installed on any laptop/computer as it costs nothing. In other words, students have the possibility of recording videos with their cell phones and carrying out their own analysis in the school's computer laboratory or at home. Furthermore, we hope that readers feel motivated to reproduce this material with their students in schools. In this way, the teaching of Physics would be facilitated by a meaningful approach.
