Abstract

This work aims to discuss the use of experiments that simulate geological processes as an important didactic resource in the teaching of geosciences. The activities that make up these experiments must be carried out by the students from the topics indicated by the teacher. During these activities students will have as essential functions the choice of materials to be used, the execution of the experiment, observation and recording of the results. Students will be able to do the experiment in the classroom with teacher supervision and / or at home, with video recording for later presentation to their classmates and / or other students. This type of activity allows the development of the student in different fields of knowledge, since it provides a better understanding of the geological phenomenon due to the assembling of the environment by the student and the subsequent observation of the phenomenon based on the experiment. In addition, the student becomes more independent, diffuser of knowledge and proactive, as it is responsible for all the stages of the activity developed, which is something very interesting at a moment that reaffirms the need to centralize the study directly in the student.
