ntegration between Experimental Practice and Virtual Simulation in Teaching Oblique Throwing: A Didactic Approach
Keywords: Physics teaching. Projectile motion. Active learning methodologies.
This work proposes the development and application of a didactic approach designed to teach oblique throwing, a topic commonly associated with the difficulties faced by primary school students, especially due to the presence of trigonometry concepts. The proposal is based on the integration between experimental practices and virtual simulations, using PET bottle rockets and the PHET simulator as complementary pedagogical resources. The strategy aims to bring theory and practice closer together, making the content more accessible, contextualized and motivating for students. The study methodology includes the application of teaching material in a school, through a sequence of practical and virtual activities, accompanied by the application of diagnostic and evaluative questionnaires before and after the intervention. The objective is to verify the impact of the proposal on students' conceptual understanding and reflect on its viability as a pedagogical practice.
