Abstract

The most current understanding of teaching requires that it be done in an interdisciplinary way, for a better understanding of nature and its phenomena. Based on that, this work presents didactic material in audiovisual format which allows working with physics content in an interdisciplinary way using Paleontology, which is one of the specialties of Biology. Five video lessons were created and published in a playlist entitled “Newton and the Dinosaurs”. In the videolessons, information about the biomechanics and combat behavior of dinosaurs is presented, and, based on these situations, Newton's Laws are presented.
