Abstract
This classroom experience provides an accessible alternative to experimental physics teaching in schools lacking laboratories. Inspired by the “Galería de Galileo,” we designed physics experiment videos with integrated analysis, recorded in high resolution and built using low-cost, open-source technology. The goal was to create teaching materials that enable teachers and students to analyze real phenomena with free tools like Tracker, Python, FreeCAD, Inkscape, CapCut, and artificial intelligence support. The methodology included designing 3D-printed instruments, recording experiments, performing frame-by-frame analysis, and overlaying animated graphs. Results show interactive videos that combine observation and analysis, supporting active methodologies such as ISLE. This proposal offers an innovative, inclusive, and replicable resource that enhances active learning and fosters scientific skills development in contexts with limited resources.
