Avaliação de um kit educativo de foguetes de papel

Abstract

This Final Paper presents the implementation of a didactic sequence based on the theme of “paper rockets,” using the MOBFOG educational kit as the main teaching tool. The objective was to make the teaching of Physics more attractive and accessible for technical high school students, integrating theory and practice through the construction, testing, and launching of rockets made by the students themselves. The activity was organized as a group competition, encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, and the development of practical problem-solving skills. Data collection included measurements of rocket launch distances, classroom observations, and questionnaires designed to assess student engagement and content comprehension. The results showed a high level of student participation and motivation throughout the entire process. The analysis indicated that the use of the MOBFOG kit significantly contributed to the teaching-learning process by offering a dynamic and contextualized experience. It is concluded that the didactic sequence was successful in promoting a collaborative, stimulating, and effective learning environment for teaching Physics, reinforcing the potential of practical, low-cost projects in science education.
