Astronomia, história da ciência e ensino de física: um projeto interdisciplinar

Abstract

Astronomy is probably the oldest of all sciences. Observing the sky has always sparked curiosity and the search for explanations for the phenomena of nature. Unfortunately, the themes surrounding this science are still little explored throughout school life, with its contents being addressed by science teachers in elementary and physical education during high school. Treating the topic of astronomy in high school is a crucial issue for teachers in this discipline. As the current legislation establishes that classes must meet issues such as contextualization and interdisciplinarity, it is proposed that content involving the History of Science can make these classes more attractive. In this work, in this way, we insert astronomical content in physics classes via History of Science aiming at obtaining a richer and more integrated teaching.
