Desenvolvimento de dispositivos didáticos utilizando materiais reciclados para demonstrar princípios de aerodinâmica e energia eólica no âmbito do Instituto Federal do Piauí na cidade de Angical do Piauí-PI

Abstract

This work refers to teaching devices using recycled material. The objective of the study was to identify the knowledge that students had regarding the content addressed. To this end, the following question is proposed: What physical knowledge is present in the composition of teaching devices using recyclable material in the production of a windmill? The study initially took place through the application of a questionnaire to 1st and 2nd year High School students, with closed questions based on the research objectives. Additionally, the research sought to develop and apply the windmills by identifying the students' knowledge. The research was implemented in four stages, which involved the application of a questionnaire, a class on aerodynamics and wind energy, a presentation and explanation of how windmills work, and the reapplication of the questionnaire. The experimental approach used in this work sparked the interest and curiosity of the students, providing learning and understanding of how wind energy is converted into electrical energy.
