Estudo do processo de envasamento de cajuína em Água Branca (PI): contribuições para o ensino e aprendizagem de hidrodinâmica na educação de nível médio

Abstract

The article's central theme is the elaboration of a study on hydrodynamics that is present in the cajuína bottling process in a factory located in the region of Água Branca-PI, and with this, demonstrating its contributions to the teaching of hydrodynamics , specifically Pascal's Principle, in a high school class at IFPI Campus Angical. As specific objectives, the importance of the cashew filling machine in the current historical-cultural context of Piauí must be described; identify the laws of hydrodynamics present in the operation of the cashew filling machine; analyze students' interest in studying the subject of physics after using a teaching methodology that uses contextualization as an instigating tool in the teaching-learning process. The topic becomes important because through research, it was identified that there is a need for a special methodological approach to present fundamental concepts of hydrodynamics that are not in the curriculum of high school classes and that a large part of the teachers who teach do not have training in physics. Therefore, the following work demonstrates an efficient teaching methodology that is practical and achieves a high level of approval from students, including those who do not like the subject of physics, resulting in excellent results at the end of the project
