This work investigated the feasibility of using the BBC micro: bit internal accelerometer in experimental activities. Two experiments were used for tests, which dealt with Newton’s Second Law and the Rotation motion. In both, the objective was to directly evaluate the acceleration and thus analyze the data through descriptive statistics and graphical analysis, generating results that will serve as a reference for students in the laboratory, in addition to clarifying concepts of visualization and comprehension. The results obtained help to better understand what really happens in acceleration movements and can help to reorganize experimental activities for the teaching of Physics.
