Abstract
<jats:p>Este artículo presenta una propuesta de secuencia didáctica dirigida a estudiantes de secundaria. Se propone la exploración de indicadores ácido-base naturales con el fin de caracterizar diferentes soluciones acuosas. Luego, los estudiantes se enfrentan a un escenario desafiante e investigativo: la adición de lejía a un refresco de cola resulta en una reacción química que también implica cambios de color. Basándose en el protocolo desarrollado, los estudiantes llevarán a cabo ensayos experimentales para determinar si el refresco de cola es un indicador ácido-base. Para explicar los resultados obtenidos, los estudiantes llevarán a cabo una investigación cuyas conclusiones llevarán a la introducción del tema de las reacciones de oxidación-reducción. Con esta propuesta se busca fomentar la participación activa de los estudiantes en la construcción de su aprendizaje a través de actividades prácticas y experimentales, utilizando materiales cotidianos para promover su autonomía y, al mismo tiempo, estimular la curiosidad científica y el desarrollo de habilidades esenciales para la educación del siglo XXI. Además, el conocimiento que este enfoque didáctico contribuye significativamente a una comprensión más profunda de los conceptos fundamentales de la Química, promoviendo reflexiones más profundas sobre su relevancia en la sociedad actual.</jats:p>

Abstract
BackgroundRecent literature underscores the importance of programming in preparing students for the challenges of a technologically evolving society.PurposeThis study explores the integration of Arduino programming in a non-formal education context, considering its potential to promote interdisciplinary approaches - particularly in Physics and ICT subjects - and foster students' interest and motivation.SampleEighty Portuguese middle school students participated in the practical activity designed.Design and MethodsDuring the activity, fundamental concepts of electronics, circuits, and Arduino programming were introduced and explored. Participants completed a questionnaire regarding their interests, motivations, and experiences. The data were supplemented with field notes collected by the research team.ResultsFindings show significant student interest in exploring Arduino programming, despite facing challenges such as coding difficulties and limited familiarity with electronic components and circuits. Students expressed enthusiasm for engaging in future activities related to the topic and supported its interdisciplinary integration and they recognized its potential to improve learning outcomes and develop essential competencies and skills.ConclusionPositive indicators have emerged from this research regarding the implementation of this innovative approach, which could be transposed into a formal education context, such as Physics. This approach not only captivates students' interest but also empowers them to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
