The teaching of electrodynamics is often one of the greatest challenges for the
physics teacher in basic education, because to make the elementary school student imagine
the world in a macroscopic way - which ends up requiring even more of his reasoning -
is infinitely more efficient than speaking microscopically. The teacher, therefore, can
exemplify physical theories as a uniformly varied movement through macro magnitudes
such as a working car, which will be easily understood, since the student already has in
his mind subsumes that give clear and precise meanings, unlike when taught to it the
movement of electric charges, put is not something that often present.
In order to offer the student a way to demonstrate the theory of electrodynamics
more clearly, it is proposed the construction of manuals developed through scripts that
approach the subject through texts of historical composition, drawings, investigation and
physical experiments able to demonstrate the phenomena, which will certainly help him
to create subsuming for learning in a future activity. In addition, the handling of the
aid manuals that were constructed will give the teacher the opportunity to use this resource to create subsumes in his students. On the other hand, the manuals, resulting
from the scripts, are methodologically based on David Ausubel’s meaningful learning, for
presenting a non-arbitrary cognitive construct, but for using an existing generalization in
the cognitive structure, since all students since the first year of life have. Thus, while the
students are putting “hand in the mass”, the proposed activities are represented according
to the Soil Taxonomy of Jhon Bigss, allowing to classify them in levels of knowledge
