A new daily life for Physics in high school: the
behavior of light
Electromagnetic waves. Speed of light. Microwaves. Meaningful
learning. Physics teaching.
In this work proposal we present an educational product where we emphasize
the concept of electromagnetic waves, grounding and measuring the speed of
light through an apparatus used in the daily life of students.We also explored the
spontaneous conceptions to obtain a meaningful learning, for this a new daily life
was created within the classroom itself. Tontent not normally explored in our
public schools can be understood by first year students of high school, this work
was carried out by a class of 40 students at the State School Professor Francisco
Ivo Cavalcante in the first semester of 2018, this work is supported by a didactic
sequence as well as in a conceptual text on the nature of light, the didactic
sequence as an educational product is within the scope of this proposal.
