A História da Ciência por meio do teatro: A Teoria do Calórico contada em cena

Abstract

The History of Science linked to the theater form an important partnership for science teaching. Some research mention the importance of this relationship both for teaching and for the dissemination of science. In this sense the present study aimed to produce educational material that can be used for high school physics teachers to address the caloric theory in historical perspective through theater. The work is qualitative and has developed into a group of second year high school of Hortensius school Sousa Ribeiro- PREMEN, located in the city of Campina Grande. We reflect on the search for alternative use of the History of Science in the classroom, through strategies that will involve school students to consider all aspects before mentioned and understand the feasibility of using innovative methodological alternatives in room class.
