Development process of virtual simulations of historical experiments for the Teaching of Physics

In the search for alternatives to the Teaching of Physics, many didactic resources are proposed and theoretical-methodological aspects are not always taken into account for the elaboration and use of these resources. A computer simulation can be as traditional as a chalkboard when it is not well planned or poorly used. In this sense, this paper proposes to present an approach for the development of computational simulations of historical experiments focused on Physics Teaching, considering aspects of Physics, Science Education, History and Philosophy of Science, Design and Computer Science to achieve a didactic resource that reflects the competences of the areas involved and with greater possibilities of reaching an efficient didactical material.
