THE USE OF PORTABLE EXPERIMENTS TO APPLY A TEACHING SEQUENCE ON WIND ENERGY
Wind energy, meaningful learning, portable experiment.
In this work, we present portable experiments with the aim of approaching the concepts of electromagnetic induction and wind energy. The study was developed at Escola Municipal Monsenhor Manoel Pereira da Costa, with 9th year elementary school students. The materials used to carry out the experiments are portable and easy to handle and transport. In the meantime, the objectives included the development of a didactic sequence - as a pedagogical tool - to contribute to the teaching-learning process, which will address physical concepts related to electromagnetic induction, among other physical concepts, adopting the theory of Meaningful Learning as a theoretical framework. by David Ausubel and the ISLE “Investigative Science Learning Environment” method. Qualitative and descriptive in nature, the research instruments used were: questionnaire, observation and previously prepared material called “student guide”. The objectives included developing a didactic sequence to work on the topic of wind energy and discussing the physical concepts that are included in this topic. The proposal was designed so that students could learn the concepts through class discussion and the execution of experiments.
