AMARELINHA PIEZOELÉTRICA: UMA APLICAÇÃO LÚDICA

Piezoelectric material are those capable of converting mechanical energy into electric energy, they can be applied as source of clean energy and, therefore, they are a potential ally to the preservation of the environment. Aiming to insert the concept of renewable energy for kids from 3 to 9 years old, we developed hopscotch with piezoelectric materials. The piezoelectric hopscotch was used as a tool to the approach of the concept of renewable energy and sources. We observed that the kids got curious to know how the equipment and, stimulated by the teacher’s questions, it was possible to begin with them the construction of concepts regarding the generation of clean and renewable energy.
