This dissertation aims to develop a research-based teaching sequence (RTS) through the use of low-cost experimental activities to address high school flight theory concepts. The initial experimental activity was the construction of a prototype called "Radial Support Simulator" and later a "wind tunnel" was built with accessible materials. The IRAMUTEQ software (Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires) created by Pierre Ratinaud was used to initially help perform a Descending Hierarchical Classification in addition to the Analysis of Similarity and Word Cloud in the answers to the questions proposed in the first and third experimental activity. The product was applied in a public school in the urban area of the city of Santarém in a first year high school class.
