FÍSICA PARA O ENSINO MÉDIO USANDO SIMULAÇÕES E EXPERIMENTOS DE BAIXO CUSTO: UM EXEMPLO ABORDANDO DINÂMICA DA ROTAÇÃO.

The low cost experiments represent an alternative to the lack of laboratories in schools, as well as being a way on with we can conduct the students to Science through the use of materials easily obtainable and available in their daily lives. The use of videos and simulations in support of the teaching-learning process in High School Physics courses, is also a useful tool for students to understand Science as a form of representation of natural phenomena. It is common to these students the idea that Science is purely abstract and detached from reality, because they are based on situations, almost always ideal, that arise in the exercises in Physics. The process of moving from concrete to abstract is often forgotten, as it is only presented to the student the abstract piece. This paper aims at analyzing the process of teaching and learning in a Physics class with the use of those resources in a bundle, addressing a theme often omitted from school textbooks: the dynamics of rotation. We present an experimental kit designed and produced by us, as well as a software, of our own, and make several suggestions for joint implementation of these two elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
