5 This process is an example of social constructivist classroom activities; learning is promoted through collaboration among students, and between students and professor. From a social constructionist perspective as students share background knowledge and participate in the give and take of collaborative and cooperative activities they are negotiating meaning. They are building knowledge, not as individuals, but as a group (Dougiamas, 2003).

6 When using a video camera, they can externalize creative thoughts as well as warrant the pedagogical potential, because it allows visualization of physical situations related to conceptual physical models, and so bring about the discovery of new possibilities of expression while experiencing exchanges while working in a group in an effort of collective creation (Pereira 2012).

7 The laboratory of physics as a film set The physics laboratory in itself is very attractive and inspire great interest to students. It represents the first real approach with what they study on their books.

8 Recording the most beautiful experiments of hystory of physics performed by themselves For a student, the first contact with the experimental bench represents a sort of encounter with the history! An encounter with the scientists who designed and created the instruments, who experimented to prove the veracity of the physical laws! An opportunity to repeat the same experiments, to perform the measurements, to calculate the error, to draw graphs of functions
