Relato de experiências com experimentos no ensino da física: alternativas para a ausência de laboratório no ensino médio

Abstract

This study addresses the theme of experimentation in high school physics education, highlighting alternatives to the lack of laboratory infrastructure through the use of low-cost materials and the Arduino platform. The main objective was to report a didactic experience carried out during a supervised teaching internship, using practical and accessible experiments that facilitated the connection between theory and application. The methodology involved selecting and adapting simple experiments aligned with the school curriculum, employing sensors and components controlled by Arduino. These experiments were implemented in a public school without a laboratory, as part of regular teaching activities, enabling a more dynamic instructional approach. It is important to emphasize that this work is presented as a teaching experience report, with no data collection from students, aiming solely to share formative reflections from the internship. The proposal demonstrates how such practices contributed to making the content more meaningful and fostered greater student engagement in contexts with limited infrastructure. Furthermore, it reinforces the teacher’s role as a mediator and highlights the potential of accessible didactic solutions in promoting physics learning.
