Abstract

This paper presents a didactic strategy used in Physics I (first year of Agronomic Engineering, Zootechnical Engineering and Bachelor's Degree in Agro-food Engineering) that was developed virtually during 2020. The objective of this strategy is that students integrate the acquired knowledge to solve a practical situation. Students are asked to evaluate the consistency of the soil with the possibility of carrying out the activity in their homes, using everyday materials. The activity was performed in three stages, with the accompaniment of the teachers through consultations by the virtual classroom. Being an activity planned with open slogans, each one had to organize their work and identify the important points to report; this allowed them to develop their creativity. Through this activity, more than 40% of the students were promoted. The students' feedback shows that this activity helped them understand how Physics is related to the field of Agronomy.
