Construção de instrumentos musicais artesanais como meio para auxiliar a aprendizagem de conceitos físicos relacionados às ondas sonoras

Abstract

The search in teaching of science see, among other things, investigate ways to will help minimize the difficulties in teaching and learning of science. One is the difficulty the students have in learning physics concepts. Is therefore important and necessary that research for this area, to investigate alternative proposals for the teaching of physics concepts and offer for students ways and means to understand and make scientific concepts effectively and more interesting. The present work discusses the proposal of a didactic sequence context with the blow musical instrument and a stringed musical instrument, to teach concepts about sound waves, in particular the concept of frequency and amplitude. Then, was introduced an innovative proposal for teaching these concepts, based on Piaget's constructivist theory, where we investigated like a didactic sequence context by the construction of the musical instruments handmade has helped the student learning of physics concepts. We concluded that the didactic sequence designed stimulated the students to think about their actions, establishing relationships between characteristics of the instrument construction and characteristics of sound, thereby facilitating the construction of the knowledge.
