THE TEACHING OF NEWTON’S LAWS AID BY LOW-COST EXPERIMENTS

Abstract

This study deals with the application of low-cost experiments in the classroom on the topic of Newton's laws. Details regarding the construction and assembly of experiments to be applied in the classroom are presented, which can be replicated by teachers or students. It was verified through questionnaires answered by students that they become more interested in physics classes when they involve carrying out a practical experiment associated with the theoretical concept taught in the classroom. The application took place in an elementary school in the city of Senador Canedo, located in the metropolitan region of Goiânia.
