Abstract

This study aimed to verify the application of educational software as a subsidy in the understanding of chemistry content for students of a popular course in the municipality of Marabá / PA, promoting the construction of learning about the Molecular Geometry content. The Molecule Shape software of the PhET Intective Simulations platform was applied as a complementary alternative tool in the presentation of theoretical classes in the classroom, in order to verify the level of acceptance of this methodology as intervention practice. Thus, a bibliographical research, knowledge test and opinion questionnaire was used as a method of data collection through a study based on the theoretical reference on science teaching and learning, the use of technologies in education and educational software, in a study of Case involving students of a popular course, in the municipality of Marabá / PA.
