Um relato de experiência sobre o ensino da relatividade na educação básica.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present an account of a didactic sequence about Special and General Relativity applied in a School of the State Education Network. Located in the city of Bonito de Santa Fé / PB, this work developed in a group of 3rd Year - High School, which belongs to the ninth Regional Education Management by the region of Cajazeiras / PB. In the course of this, the importance of how to introduce Special and General Relativity in High School will be presented, considering that it is a subject almost not seen by the students of the city, this in a language at medium level, proposing new steps for the use of new methods of teaching physics in order to motivate students, since traditional teaching no longer meets expectations for a world of change. The teaching of Relativity in Basic Education is based on a constructivist perspective that has aroused great interest in physicists, regarding the use of previous knowledge. The report of the stage presents a relation of the Modern Physics with technological applications, having as a survey of previous conceptions of the students being the starting point for the teaching strategies, the use of analogies was realized through simulators available for free.
