Abordagem do tema energia em aulas de ciências por meio da experimentação

Abstract

The study of energy is very relevant for science teaching, it is a determining factor for the industrial and technological development of the world, since it is present in every corner, whether in everyday activities or even in industry. However, o it is a somewhat complex topic, most of the time students confuse this concept. Therefore, this article aims to investigate how experimentation has been used in science classes to facilitate the learning of energy concepts and its relationship with renewable and clean sources. The research is qualitative in nature, of a bibliographic nature. The survey was carried out using Periódicos Capes as a database, initially a search was carried out for articles related to the object of study, renewable energy sources in science teaching, published in the years 2017 to 2023 nationwide, five works were selected, they were identified according to the focus on practices developed under study. As a result of the research, it was observed that the use of experimentation in Science classes is a methodology capable of involving students and awakening students' critical sense and enhancing the learning process about renewable energy sources. Therefore, investing in different methodologies and experimentation can be a viable alternative for teaching and learning science content that presents more complex themes such as the concept of energy, which involves not only the scope of science, but also chemistry and physics.
