The dissemination of science on the radio: unraveling and understanding the physics present in everyday life

Abstract

In this work we describe and analyze the actions developed in a university extension project whose objective was to elaborate a material for dissemination of knowledge in Physics using events and phenomena of everyday life. This project had the participation of three Degree’s students in Physics and two professors from the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM) and students and teachers from three public schools in the Uberaba-MG city. This team was responsible for preparing the Scientific Dissemination material, which was later edited and included in the programming of the UFTM University Radio. With the development of this extension project, we highlight some difficulties faced in the elaboration of good materials for Science Dissemination. On the other hand, we also present some contributions to both, the subjects involved and everyone who could have access to the material released by the radio. With this, we emphasize the possibilities offered by university extension for the presentation and dissemination of scientific knowledge to society.
