Física no ensino fundamental: as contribuições da experimentação simples e prática para a compreensão dos conceitos físicos no 9° ano

Abstract

This field research focused on the contributions of the use of simple experiments as a teaching strategy in the 9th grade of elementary school. The objective was to demonstrate that experiments help to understand the physical concepts that are related to the natural events that occur in the experience of 9th grade students. To this end, the contributions of simple experimentation to the learning of the discipline of physics were presented, and strategies that facilitate learning with the practices lived in the daily life of students of the 9th grade of elementary school. Analyzing the student's ability to relate an everyday phenomenon with the scientific concept addressed in the classroom and verifying if there was significant learning using the experiment as a teaching strategy. For the development of the research and data collection, a qualitative methodology was used and carried out with a descriptive and exploratory procedure, field/experimente. The results show that students are able, through experiments, to establish a significant relationship between physical concepts and everyday life, building more critical thinking. These activities are considered to have great potential for teaching physics, as they contribute to meaningful learning. Keywords: physics teaching; experimental activities; low cost experiments
