STUDY OF SCALAR KINEMATICS THROUGH A CAR PRINTED IN 3D, AND ASSEMBLED WITH ONE ARDUINO PLATE UNO AND OTHER, MEGA-2560
Physics teaching, kinematics, robotics applied to the teaching of one-dimension
motion.
The educational product studied in this thesis refers specifically to two kinds of
unidimensional movement, uniform rectilinear motion and uniformly accelerated rectilinear
motion, inserted in the field of Kinematics. In compliance with the current curricular matrices,
it is necessary and appropriate to implement activities in classes for students of the first year
of high school, more specifically in the first third of the school year in which, with rare
exceptions, they are discussed as the main types of motion and, obviously, will compose the
satisfactory scenario for carrying out the activities, however, it can be implemented in the
following grades. Due to the good amount of information that can be provided by the
experiment equipment, the proposal is that the activity might be carried out by groups of
students, and encourage them to discuss and analyze the results, allowing the confrontation of
their ideas and points of view, which, pedagogically presents as a positive element for the
construction of knowledge. Considering the experimental set as being a low-cost piece, as it
mainly consists of an open platform (hardware and software), it becomes economically viable
to build a sufficient number of experimental sets to meet the necessity.
