Utilizando luas do sistema solar para associar o movimento circular uniforme e o movimento harmônico simples através do método instrução pelos colegas

Abstract

In this work it was carried out a study on Jupiter moons and its motions. To address this topic in classroom, it was initially described the uniform circular motion and the simple harmonic motion. Afterwards, these contents were gathered to the movement of the moons of Jupiter, the harmonic motion describes the back and forth of moons when seen from Earth and its association to orbital motion around the planet is recognized as a circular motion. The task was planned and applied for second year students of high school from a public school in Bagé. The method Education by peer instruction was used to make the teaching more meaningful and for a quick feedback for the teacher it was used clickers. This methodology has theoretical support on theories by Vygotsky and Ausubel. The results were acquired through the analysis of the answers of the students by using clickers and of the final activity, when it was checked the ability of the students in understanding that the harmonic motion of moons seen from Earth, consists in a component of the orbital motion of moons around the planet.
