SUMMARY:

The great technological advance in the last decades has been notorious, it has undoubtedly contributed in a very sharp way to the teaching-learning process, where one of the major factors for such an occurrence is the use of communication and information technologies (ICTs). The Chemistry subject is mentioned as a difficult subject, as it contains many formulas and equations, which sometimes causes a lack of interest on the part of students. Regarding the content of atomic models, it is often worked in a merely expository way, which leads the student to simply “memorize” the central ideas of the different models. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the year 2020 was atypical, and students started to follow their classes in remote format. When the content of atomic models was worked on, it was possible to observe a greater difficulty in assimilating such content, since the iteration took place only through the posting of the study material in the WhatsApp groups of the classes. The realization of this work is justified in an attempt to resolve these difficulties encountered by students about atomic models, making use of ICTs in order to make such content less abstract and/or more attractive. In this way, the present work aims to contribute to an improvement in the teaching and learning process of atomic models, through the use of the Phet simulator. The research was carried out with 45 students from a class of the 1st year of high school at a public school in the municipality of Boa Viagem-CE. The use of Physics Education Technology (PhET) was the strategy used as an alternative to corroborate the execution of the research. In this context, a descriptive research of a qualitative nature was carried out, based on the assumptions of meaningful learning through ICTs, where questionnaires were used for data collection, which dealt with the students' prior knowledge and the new knowledge obtained after the use of simulations contained in the PhET on the atomic models. Through this feedback, a content analysis was carried out, where, through the data obtained, a booklet was built for the use of the Phet simulator as an educational product, which has as its target audience the teachers of the discipline of Chemistry.
