Medindo aceleração da gravidade da terra com experimento do pêndulo simples adaptado para alunos de baixa visão

Abstract

Like any field of science, Physics is no exception, involving calculations, abstract concepts, experimental practices, and other aspects. These aspects of Physics pose greater challenges for students with visual impairments. The simple pendulum is an experiment whose physical concepts are related to mechanics. There is a lack of adapted materials in mechanics for students with low vision that encourage participation and interaction between them. There is a lack of adapted materials in the area of mechanics for students with low vision that encourage participation and interaction between them. The adapted simple pendulum experiment was developed as a proposal for regular education teachers to include and improve their students' development during class. The proposal assists in adapting physics teaching for visually impaired students, enabling them to participate in teaching in a fun and accessible way. The experiment aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of experimentation as a teaching methodology, the importance of constructing low-cost materials, and the ability to calculate the period and frequency of oscillations. Through experimentation, students can retain the content covered and relate it to everyday events. The work provides a historical context, from the first observation of oscillatory motion to the development of a didactic sequence, an important teaching tool and a guide for teachers in applying the experiment in their classes.
