Microgravity indoor

Abstract

Some experimental activities of low cost and easy accomplishment are proposed to reproduce the microgravity environment that exists in space ships, free fall towers and parabolic flights. The objective is to provide didactical material to aid teachers in terms of assembling instructions, besides the implementation of these experiments and explanation of the results. The experiments were based on the free fall concept and were recorded in several stages of their falls, making it possible the observation of curious phenomena in this environment.
