Use of Astronomy Concepts Within Comics to Motivate Physics Classes

This is a poster presented at the 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop on Astronomy for Education, organised by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE, http//astro4edu.org). Title: Use of Astronomy Concepts Within Comics to Motivate Physics Classes Presenter:Rincon Voelzke, Marcos (Cruzeiro do Sul University - Brazil) The aim of this work is to use Astronomy concepts within comics to motivate Physics classes. It was applied at the Casimiro Silva State School, in Brazil, with 40 high school students. For the development of the Learning Object, software for comics was used. The pre-test was applied on the dates of August, 2021 and then interventions were carried out on the subject of electromagnetic wave, spectral bands and radio waves and with the delivery and explanation of the Comics, as a Learning Object, addressing communication between planets and between Earth with Voyager 1 and 2. After a period of four months, the same questionnaire, was repeated to verify the potential significant learning. It was verified that the methodological strategy reflected in the improvement of the performance. About the 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop:The 6th Shaw-IAU Workshop took place:12 - 15 November 2024. The Shaw-IAU workshops focus on astronomy education for primary and secondary school students and teacher training both in universities and in service. This year's workshop featured two special topics: an exploration of the first two years of the James Webb Space Telescope for the scientific topic, and the crucial aspect of evaluation in educational contexts as the non-scientific topic.More details can be found on: https://astro4edu.org/shaw-iau/Keep up to date with future Shaw-IAU Workshops and other opportunities at the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education by joining our mailing list https://astro4edu.org/mailing-list/Follow the IAU OAE on Bluesky and Facebook under @astro4edu
