Uma proposta de atividade experimental utilizando o Arduino no ensino de biofísica da visão

Abstract

The present work is a proposal of experimental activity for the teaching of the Physical discipline through the knowledge of Biophysics, in thesis, as it happens the vision in colors, planning to arouse the interest of the students of the second year of high school. It was emphasized that the formation of the image still occurs in the eye, and only after transformed into electrical energy (nerve impulses) and taken to the brain. We also commented on the various forms of light propagation and which one represents what takes place inside the eyeball, so that the formation of the image is possible. In addition, it was discussed about the vision abnormalities, which lenses correct each one and how the light propagation occurs after the insertion of these lenses. Finally, we understand how color vision occurs and how important light is in this process. A material corresponding to the script of the experiment that can be reproduced in the classroom was arranged. The experiment uses the Arduino platform as the provider for color vision representation. All this study was based on the theory of Vygotsky that defends the idea of the teacher being the individual able to transfer the knowledge to the student. In this way, it must reproduce the proposed activity emphasizing the Physical and Biological phenomena found, in order that the learning objective is reached.
