Instrumentação com arduino para o ensino de física – lançamento oblíquo

Abstract

This work demonstrates, in a simple and clear way, how the use of Arduino in education can build scientific knowledge from the student's everyday life through instrumentation. As Arduino has a low cost and also libraries with open source codes, this makes it possible to equip a laboratory with enough instruments to allow each student to carry out a series of experiments and measurements, these experiments can be assembled with recyclable and easily acquired materials, and thus make the lesson meaningful for the student. But in order for the instrumentation to be successful, it was necessary to apply innovative methodologies such as the Inverted Classroom methodology and Project-Based Learning, making the teaching-learning process meaningful. In addition, learning the fundamentals of Arduino promotes cooperative learning, creating an affective bond between teacher and student as advocated by the Project-Based Learning model. As we have been through a COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to use alternative teaching models. The Inverted Classroom methodology is a tool of great importance in this teaching-learning process and has contributed as part of the product, supporting the formation of scientific knowledge through virtual environments and the application of experimental instrumentation in the classroom during face-to-face moments. The instrumentation consists of a projectile launcher whose theoretical basis is the oblique launch of projectiles and free fall.
