“…Based on the proposed structure, a course, using the Arduino® platform, was organized, and applied to groups of high school students from the Brazilian public school system. The work presented in Sena, Mesquita, Monteiro, Muniz-Junior, and Oliveira (2019) also describes a training program in Educational Robotics, based on Arduino®, which was applied to Physics students from two public high schools. Classes in general were organized according to the method proposed in the previous work, but the activities were planned to follow the guidelines of a project-based learning model.…”

“…Another possibility would be for the students to automate the looping experiment, in the form of a teaching project. In this case, the activities could be performed using the method described in Sena et al (2019). The advantage of this approach is that, in addition to providing an appropriate environment for a better understanding of the physical concepts related to the experiment, it would give students the opportunity to carry out basic training in educational robotics.…”

This article presents a work carried out to improve students' understanding of the concept of energy using a robotic platform and video analysis software. The electronic system made it possible to monitor a movement with characteristics similar to those of a simple harmonic motion, through a looping device, allowing the demonstration of the law of conservation of energy. The monitoring of the experimental configuration was carried out using the Arduino® platform. Demonstrations involving the use of the apparatus as well as the video analysis software were made for Physics students from a high school. The results showed that the automation of a simple experiment can become an interesting tool for both the teaching and learning process, triggering social interactions among students useful to assist in the fixation of physical concepts, even the most abstract ones such as Energy. In addition, the use of video analysis software provides students with experiences of collecting data, analyzing graphs and tables, which supplements the understanding of the nature of science and scientific practice.
