SUMMARY:

The great technological advance in the last decades has been notorious, this undoubtedly has contributed in a very accentuated way to the teaching-learning process, where one of the major factors for such occurrence is the use of communication and information technologies (ICTs). Chemistry is mentioned as a difficult subject, as it contains many formulas and equations, which sometimes causes lack of interest on the part of students. With regard to the content of atomic models, it is often worked on in a merely expository way, which leads the student to simply “memorize” the central ideas about the different models. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, 2020 was an atypical year, and students began to follow their classes remotely. When working with the atomic models, it was possible to observe a greater difficulty in assimilating such content, since the interaction took place only through posting the study material in the WhatsApp groups of the classes. 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 about atomic models, through the use of the simulator Physics Education Technology (Phet). The research was carried out with 45 students from a class of the 1st year of high school in a public school in the municipality of Boa Viagem-CE. The use of (PhET) was the strategy used as an alternative to help carry out 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 to collect data, which dealt with the students' prior knowledge and the new knowledge obtained after using the simulations contained in PhET on 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 to work with atomic models as an educational product, which has Chemistry teachers as its target audience.
