Abstract

Given the importance and necessity of integration of Modern and Contemporary Physics in High School curriculum, this article shows how to make an alternative plasma globe with easily acquired materials, that can be easily reproduced by teachers and students. The apparatus has the potential to support discussions guided by structuring themes proposed in Brazilian official documents, in a contextualized way, which shows the relationship between the phenomenon, the natural world and technological applications present in the daily lives of students.
