Ensino de física por projetos: a física do forno solar

Abstract

The present work deals with the teaching of physics by projects, through the construction of a solar oven with the classes of the second year of high school of a public school of the state network of Minas Gerais. In the work, a discussion about the significant learning and the importance of the teacher in diversifying the pedagogical practice is established, seeking a greater interaction of the students with the knowledge. In the methodological process a work script was created, which was applied to the classes already mentioned. Later, analyzes were performed on the efficiency of the pedagogical practice by projects, through a questionnaire applied to students observing their satisfaction in participating in the activity and the knowledge acquired during the work. It could be concluded from the analyzes that the use of projects as a pedagogical tool can help in the relation of the student with the knowledge. In addition, this practice proved to be efficient for the promotion of meaningful learning.
