Proposta de potencialização do ensino/aprendizagem de Física por meio de um conjunto de experimentação em ótica de grandes dimensões

Abstract

The use of experiments in the classroom is an important teaching tool for teaching science, especially physics. However, due to various reasons such as lack of adequate material or time, a significant number of teachers still opt for traditional classes, in which physical phenomena are exposed only through images, drawings and/or diagrams. This can even be proven in the textbooks approved in the National Textbook Program. In this work, a robust set of optics is presented, with a good cost/benefit and components with dimensions larger than those currently commercialized. The components of the set were made in acrylic with dimensions that allow the realization of experiments in the classroom. The phenomena can be visualized by the students without having to move the class to a laboratory. The proposal for the application of the specific set is to carry out experiments related to refraction, total reflection and light scattering phenomena, in addition to verifying the behavior of light in flat diopters, laminae with parallel faces, prisms and spherical lenses.
