O ensino de física através da experimentação: desenvolvimento de um dispositivo didático para análise do movimento de queda livre de um corpo utilizando arduino e microsoft excel

Abstract

In the present work we seek to develop an experimental apparatus capable of acquiring data on falling bodies under the action of gravity. This equipment is characterized by its low cost and efficiency, showing details of the movement of a body under the action of gravitational force through sensors and transducers, coupled to the Arduino prototyping platform that uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources. In this work we seek to provide resources so that primary and secondary school teachers can develop physics classes with their students capable of generating a positive impact on student learning, stimulating their interest, engagement and active participation, especially with regard to the physics topic covered. In this work, we will not discuss in more depth the statistical analysis of the results as a way of evaluating the high performance of the equipment, as the direction of this research is associated with the development of the instrumentation and not its precision and accuracy.
