Abordagem da astronomia no ensino fundamental através do software stellarium

Abstract

In this work we present three practices of astronomy content activities for the Elementary School, through the Stellarium Software: Apparent Movement of the Sun, Star Constellations, and Moon Phases. In order to develop the activities we consider the skills and knowledge in the new Curriculum of Sciences to the Primary Educacion in the city of Uruguaiana/RS, which corroborate to the National Curriculum Parameters. Through these activities that simulate the direct observation of the Sky with Stellarium we hope the students develop theoretical and pratical knowledge about the celestial bodies and its periodical motions in the Sky.
