O uso de simuladores como estratégia didática para ensino análogo aos conceitos e fenômenos químicos dos gases

Abstract

Over time teachers are left with the lack of motivation of their students in the classroom. The matter of chemistry has been judged as dull and difficult to understand due to the traditional approach and the complexity of concepts where part of teachers do not seek innovative ways to work the content in a more attractive way. Given this scenario, it is up to the teachers to seek alternatives so that the discipline becomes more attractive, thought-provoking and understanding. Taking into account the facts, this work brings a proposal of a didactic sequence on gases, aiming to bring the experience of the laboratory inside the classroom, not having the same risks that a conventional laboratory presents. The use of the Phet Colorado simulator brought to the classroom some of what would be possible to work in a usual laboratory, combining practice with theory, which makes the chemistry discipline more attractive and fun, making the student understand the content more objectively, because it causes the student to associate what is being studied with his daily life.
