Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Ensino de Física) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Catalão, 2016.http://repositorio.ufcat.edu.br/tede/handle/tede/5700In this paper, we report how it was received the use of low cost experiments, in Science classes, by students from the ninth grade of Elementary School Alessandro Miguel, in Inhumas / GO. The Elementary School students have difficulty to understand the physical phenomena presented in expositive classes, verbal and theoretical, and can not relate them to real situations of everyday life. The teaching strategy was to develop low cost experiments seeking to create a stimulating environment of reflective thinking, which, according to Dewey, is the best way of thinking We verified that, by joining theory and practice, students were able to better understand the physical concepts. In addition, the students proved very enthusiastic and interested in more dynamic classes, "theoretical-practical" classes.application/pdfAcesso AbertoEnsino fundamentalPensamento reflexivoContextualizarElementary schoolReflective thinkingContextualizeFISICA::FISICA GERALDissertação
