Sequência didática para a determinação de temperatura de planetas com a equação barométrica.

Abstract

The teaching of traditional physics, in high school and elementary school, is centered on physical theories with a tibia interdisciplinarity. The exemplary models are based on excessively simple experiments, which do not match the real applicability of the theory. In this work, a product that exemplifies the ideal gas models and their multiple applicability was proposed. The product's core idea was to show how a simple model, such as that of ideal gases, can contribute to the explanation of atmospheric phenomena on several planets in the solar system. This end was achieved with the development of barometric distribution in high school with later application in the study of the atmosphere of Venus, Earth and Mars. The extension of the product does not only occur between the explicit relationship between gases and astronomy, but also reverberates issues such as climate related to the distribution of molecules in the atmosphere. Lateral concepts such as mathematics and the description of the physics of the planets were essential guidelines for the development of the student's interest in the subject, which is a prelude to the change in the basic paradigms of teaching physics.
