Construindo a alfabetização científica utilizando os princípios básicos da física na aviação

Abstract

Since many years ago, the fascination with flight and the ability to fly are present in the imaginary of humanity and arouse explanations and theories of how to practice and make possible. With ideas based on Physics and Mathematics, we have several scientists contributed to the advancement of Aviation (set of techniques and activities related to air transport) such as Leonardo da Vinci and Alberto Santos Dumont. The necessary principles to understand the Aviation physical laws so that an object can fly have evolved over the years. Thus, we can explain the phenomenon of flying and the understanding of the physics basic principles in aviation as a form of Scientific Literacy. Scientific literacy involves the set of knowledge that makes it easier for men and women to read the world in which they lives; cooperating for the understanding of science and making itself present in all spheres of education. To enable this literacy we initially applied a survey to UNIPAMPA students, in order to raise their previous knowledge and curiosities about Aviation. This survey has been built by Google Forms and has been formed with twenty-one questions. From the answers, we built informative booklets using Canva in order to answer the main curiosities about the students' aviation. In addition, in this work we present a review of the concepts of Physics that involve the possibility of an airplane flying relating to Scientific Literacy. In this sense, we aspire that scientific literacy is not only understood, but also adept by the target audience, so that it understands the Basic Principles of Aviation and themes inherent to Aviation or even different themes.
