USE OF SIMULATION TO HELP TEACHING GRAVITATION IN HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS CLASSES

Abstract

This work reports on a practice developed with 1st year high school students on strength, weight
and gravity. The research aimed to investigate the application of a digital learning object -ODA in Physics classes. Use a simulation with the title: “A question of gravity”. In developing the work, quantitative and qualitative methods were used to apply the activities and analyze the data found. We realized that the use of APD had a positive impact on student learning. Increasing technological advancement is of great importance related to teaching Physics with technology. Thus providing a better, more dynamic teaching process and effective learning.
