Abstract
We present a Didactic Unit about the classical (or galilean)Relativity Theory for the subject of Physics and Chemistry at the lowerlevels of Secondary Education, as a way to prepare students for theacquisition of Einstein´s Relativity Theory at the upper levels of SecondaryEducation. We describe the design process of the activities, and then wepresent several of them explaining the teaching aim, that is focused onthe visual interpretation of space/time and its transformations, and wealso explain the results that were obtained when we applied them in theclassroom.
