Abstract

Teaching chemistry faces challenges related to the abstraction of concepts and the lack of connection with students’ reality. In this context, active methodologies, such as investigative activities, have proven effective in promoting critical thinking and engagement in learning. This study investigated how the combination of investigative activities with the use of artificial intelligence can contribute to a deeper understanding of atomic models and their limitations. The main objective was to analyze the impact of this approach on high school students’ learning. The research was conducted in a class divided into five groups, each responsible for studying a specific atomic model. Using artificial intelligence tools, students created animated videos to present the evolution of atomic models. Subsequently, they participated in an investigative activity that challenged them to question the limitations of these models and develop a new fictitious atomic model based on scientific hypotheses. The results indicated an increase in student engagement, as they developed a more critical understanding of the evolution of atomic models and the importance of continuous revision of scientific theories. The use of artificial intelligence contributed to making learning more dynamic and interactive, stimulating students’ creativity. It is concluded that the combination of investigative activities with technological tools can be an effective strategy for improving chemistry education, encouraging students to take an active role in knowledge construction.
