SUMMARY:

The advent of the Theory of Relativity revolutionized the understanding of space-

time, challenging classical intuitions and redefining paradigms of Modern

Physics. In 1905, Albert Einstein transformed physics with the Special Theory of

Relativity, which established that the laws of physics are identical in all inertial

reference frames and postulated the speed of light in vacuum as a universal

constant. This new paradigm directly contested the classical view of space and

time as absolute entities, demonstrating their relativity to the observer and

interdependence. The implications of this revolution permeate contemporary

technologies and demand accessible pedagogical approaches due to their high

theoretical complexity, especially for basic education students—whose

development aims at holistic formation for societal life.In this context, this

research proposes the design and application of a didactic sequence for teaching

Relativity in high school, using the film Interstellar (2014) as a core pedagogicalresource integrated with the Three Pedagogical Moments Methodology

(Delizoicov & Angotti, 1990). The sequence problematizes concepts through key

scenes (e.g., time dilation on Miller’s planet), organizes knowledge via dialogic

lectures on special/general relativity, and applies learning in practical activities

(e.g., creating posters on relativistic GPS corrections and argumentative texts).

Results from implementing this educational product are expected to reveal

satisfactory learning indicators, observable through analysis of pre-/post-

intervention questionnaires and student-generated media. These outcomes are

anticipated to demonstrate significant progression in students’ mastery of

introductory concepts of relativity and modern/contemporary physics.
