The theory o of restricted relativity, developed by physicist Albert Einstein,
considers that time and space are intrinsically related. According to the theory
of special relativity, at speeds close to that of light, time and space become
relative. The purpose of this work is to use a teaching strategy that facilitates
the understanding of these concepts through a didactic sequence using
entertainment as a facilitating and meaningful action with the presentation of
science fiction films, Interstellar (2014) and Planet of the Apes (1968),
acclaimed by film critics, which clearly present the foundations of Einstein's
Special Theory of Relativity. The educational product was applied to a 2nd
grade high school class at a state public school in the city of Manaus-AM.
Having Ausubel's significant learning as its theoretical basis, the film was
shown in line with the presentation of Einstein's postulates and some concepts
from the Special Theory of Relativity so that the confrontation between
common sense and the study of science could take place, so that students
could achieve realize the importance of building physical knowledge as a
significant part of the learning process. The data collected was analyzed
qualitatively and, as an educational product, we present a text to support
teachers who wish to use films with an investigative approach to teaching
scientific concepts.
