Sensors in the Teaching of Physics: A Methodological Proposal for Teaching the Basic Concepts of Sound with the Use of BBC Micro: Bit, Cyberpi and Arduino

Abstract

This work presents the first research results of the proposal made with secondary and middle education students, in the areas of physics and technology, where didactic sequences focused on experimental activities mediated by technological tools such as Arduino, Cyberpi and BBC micro: bit, under the STEM approach are presented. This was done using the PBL methodology, as well as the physical analysis of the characteristics of the instruments used, and their respective programming and analysis of results, based on computational thinking tools. This proposal aims to provide teachers with tools to include technological tools such as sensors in the classroom and use them as didactic alternatives for learning key concepts of physics, technology and programming.
