Arduino e internet das coisas no ensino de ciências da natureza: aplicações versáteis no cotidiano e inclusão digital

Abstract

The Arduino platform allows students in the teaching of Natural Sciences to create prototypes aimed at solving problem situations in Science and Physics, respectively, in the final grades of elementary and high school. The Internet of Things concept allows prototypes with Arduino and modules to perform tasks through the web. Several specific modules allow compatible connections with the Arduino and Internet of Things platforms. The objective of this work is to present low­cost prototypes, based on the referenced authors, with Arduino and Internet of Things that can enable curiosity, meaningful learning, logical reasoning, critical sense, solution of problem situations and the digital inclusion of students in the teaching of Natural Sciences. This work makes a bibliographic review of published technical­scientific articles and explores prototypes that can develop skills and logical reasoning through active methodologies. In this sense, it seeks to adapt the prototypes explored with the general competences and skills in the Common National Curricular Base that make up the curriculum of basic education. The articles explored prove to be viable and versatile for numerous day­today problem solutions, promoting meaningful learning in understanding physical phenomenologies and digital literacy.
