Abstract:
The analogy is present everywhere in scientific as well as artistic means of expression. Analogies are ubiquitous in the study of physics, being used by physicists, physics teachers or students entering into the mysteries of physics. In physics, the analogies are used to help visualization and communication concepts that are above the perception of the senses from microcosm to macrocosm. For the appropriation of new knowledge in physics, is often used to simplify the phenomena. The purpose of the work is attracting attention on the importance of the analogies in the study of the physics phenomena, forming a creative thinking to stimulate students` interest for the construction of more interesting analogies which could be more suggestive and hence can be presented as more attractive. There are models with a large force demonstrative which are made as models that can be animated, computer programmer may surprise and play the original intuitive aspects inaccessible. Knowing the positive aspects, but also the limits of analogy, we can use the broadest effects in a wide range of methods and processes.
