Experimental Didactic Kit for teaching resistors, capacitors and RC timing circuits

Abstract

In this work, an alternative Experimental Didactic Kit for teaching resistors, capacitors and RC timing circuits was developed, using the Arduino platform technology, which is composed of a microcontroller and peripherals, due to the easy access to available teaching materials, enabling the reproduction of the prototype in the future by people with little knowledge in the area, and because it is an open-source platform. In addition, it allows visually impaired students to participate in the activity. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical ones. Moreover, it can be used as a great option to study resistors and capacitors in general. It also allows for a more detailed work, presenting an advantage in the teaching-learning process when compared to the traditional method, awakening in the student the interest in the study of Physics. We believe that this material is very useful in physics classes, being a great option for other teachers, aiming to improve students’ knowledge and skills.

Experimental activities for the study of transformation of electrical energy into thermal

“…Galileo Galilei, for example, made several experiments that allowed the understanding that the Sun occupies the centre of our system, and not the Earth, as thought at the time. The practical learning of scientific knowledge enables the student to understand phenomena and the reality that surrounds them [7][8][9].…”

A Board Game as a Teaching Resource for the Teaching of Light and Colors in High School

“…Os alunos querem e precisam de métodos modernos e abordagens diferenciadas que crie interesse e paixão pela área como oportunidade para um melhor desempenho acadêmico em física (COLOMBO, 2019;SANTOS et al, 2021, SCHIAVON et al, 2022. Talvez, uma das maiores preocupações nos dias de hoje seja atrair alunos para dentro da sala de aula.…”
