Simuladores de química disponívies no PhET colorado: um estudo de caso para o conteúdo densidade de massa.

Abstract

Knowing how much the students of this century are inserted in the digital world and from that point there is a huge challenge for today's teachers who need to overcome themselves to instigate students to use various teaching and learning tools as they are currently Digital educational resources are available for all levels of education Guidelines and Bases of Brazilian Education. The best option for the teacher is to adapt the use of new technologies to its teaching methodology, to monitor the evolution of the circulation of information and the emergence of new teaching technologies, has generated advances in the teaching of chemistry. The present work is the result of research carried out in the Study Group and Development of Virtual Learning Objects at the Federal University of Campina Grande - Campus Cajazeiras, and aims to show how important it is to use the PhET Colorado simulators that can help you make the most of your PhET classes high school chemistry at the Dr. Silva Mariz school in Marizópolis. Two were applied questionnaires two questionnaires and a practical activity to present the objects of PhET Colorado learning, as to the methodological procedures this research is applied, qualitative and quantitative, descriptive, a case study and bibliographic. This job, evidence that for chemistry there are several simulators as well, objects contain animations designed for demonstrations of movements and shapes. In this case study it was found that students did not know the available PhET Colorado simulators but getting to know everyone expressed interest in using them in chemistry classes.
