  In view of the difficulties encountered in science teaching, specifically in
the teaching of physics, studies aim to develop methodologies that help science
teaching. In this context, the present work proposes the use of the Arduino
platform as a methodological tool to improve the teaching of physics in high
school. For this purpose, the objective of the work was to produce physics
experiments with the aid of Arduino that can be used in the classroom and thus
we investigated that the experiments provided students with a dynamic and close
to ideal class in physics teaching. For the development of the research, two
experiments were presented, in the areas of thermology and optics, for students
of the second grade of high school from two public schools in the city of Picos
(PI). After the development of the experimental activity, a simple
questionnaire was applied that aimed to support whether the experiments used
with Arduino contributed to the teaching of physics. The results obtained were
discussed based on the questionnaire applied, indicating that the experiments
produced with Arduino contributed significantly to teaching physics learning,
indicating that it is an excellent methodological tool for teaching physics and
science in general
