Detecção e análise de movimentos do cotidiano via interface Arduino

Abstract

The gap between technologies produced by science and physics basic education is noticeable. The physical programming Arduino platform has great potential for educational, artistic and commercial applications to perform as good technological inclusion tool, technical expertise and methodological review in high school. The use of laboratory equipment in the science teaching is common goal among educators. This work guides teachers to assemble sophisticated equipment in order data acquisition some daily movements, such as free falls or vehicular movements. In comparision with other alternatives, this equipment is advantageous, with technical features such as high portability, low cost and good adaptability. The implementation of the proposal in an instrumentation class for physical education and two high school year 1 of the groups demonstrated a connection between physics and technology, foster interest in physics programming and improve the contextualization of kinematics with other branches of activity human increasing the chances of a meaningful learning.
