MIME GAME FOR THE TEACHING OF HEAT PROPAGATION: CONDUCTION, CONVECTION AND IRRADIATION

Abstract

The work presents results for the use of differentiated didactic resources for the teaching of physics, with the objective of facilitate the teaching and learning process. The proposed class includes the theoretical presentation of the contents, specifically about sensible heat, latent heat and the processes of heat transmission: conduction, convection and irradiation. In addition, the methodology includes the use of a low-cost experiment, the resolution of exercises, the execution of the game "Gesturing the Physics", and at end, the application of the investigative questionnaire on the resource used. The proposed dynamic is mimicry, inspired in the game "Image and Action", in which one of the players of the team must to mimic for the remainder, from physical phenomena about everyday situations. The rest of the group should discover the situation represented and what is the heat transfer process involved. The scholarship holders from Institutional Program for Initiation to Teaching of the physics (PIBID/Physics) from Federal University of Acre (UFAC) ministered class to the students from 3rd year of high school in a public school in Rio Branco-AC, inside the extension project “Sciences in the School: Experimentation and Theory”. The results show that the use of the proposed didactic sequence stimulated students to understand and fixation of content in an easy and fun way. In addition, the proposed dynamics revealed to be a promising resource for physics teaching.
