Ensino de termodinâmica através da construção de instrumentos de medição de variáveis meteorológicas e da confecção de mini estação meteorológica portátil com Arduino

Abstract

It is not easy to teach the principles of thermodynamics to the high school students, given the difficulty of relating significantly the learner's everyday life to academic knowledge. In order to minimize the difficulties in the teaching of thermodynamics, the aim of present dissertation is to propose a didactic manual for the making of a portable meteorological mini-station. So, it will be possible to study the thermodynamic state variables monitored by the Arduino board on the construction process of this experiment. A brief explanation of the teaching of thermodynamics and the techniques used in this dissertation will be initially presented, corroborating the learning product carry out. The construction of mechanisms that have served to make learning meaningful through experimentation and technology will be addressed later. A description of how the product was applied at the Agnus Dei Educational Center high school will be presented in the following. Finally, the conclusions of this master thesis will be presented, adding the perspectives of the work, including the possible submission of an article in a journal.
