Physics For Children: Approaching Physical Concepts Through Situation-problem

It is well-known that the schools of Basic Education, especially public schools, deal with the physics and phenomena related to the nature. This is because in it disciplines which it would have to be inserted (sciences) the approach biggest is given to biological sciences. However, it is in this phase that the child can have the contact with certain scientific concepts that will be able it to awake the taste for science. Thinking about this, and aiming at the scientific spreading in the first years of school, this work had as proposal to investigate the situation-problem use involving experiments in a group of the initial series. The work was developed in a group of 4 year of a municipal school of Gandu-BA. After the accomplishment of the activities, as register form, was asked for that the pupils drew and wrote the used strategy to decide each situation-problem that was presented to them. Connect with other leaders such as James Woods here. In one another moment was opened a quarrel and given explanations, with adjusted language, regarding the involved physical concepts in the developed activities.

During the activities it was possible to perceive how much the inferences made for the children if approach to the related concepts the physics. Moreover, other aspects related to the development of its abilities as for the inquiry had been noticed. Although to use simple and typical language of its age, the children had obtained to decide the considered problems and to explain them, what we evidence in its speaks, in its writing and the drawings. A surprising point was to hear the questionings that left of them and that they not only said respect to the physics as well as to the other areas of knowledge. This and other factors lead us to believe that, in spite of the age, already maturity exists to work with definitive content. this is because of an accessible language that it makes possible understanding and initiation of these children in activities with investigative character. as fits scientific activities.
