Sumario:The present work analyses a laboratory experience for learning physics by using an active learning methodology. The design of the experimental device, the collection of measurements, the processing and analysis are carried out in an open space within the educational institution premises, both accessible and visible to all educational stakeholders. The activity, with the first-year physics teachertrainees involves the construction of a large-scale experimental device. Such a device is used to determine Young's modulus of a galvanized steel wire, by the amount of stretch it experiences when subjected to a pulling force. As a result, the students obtained a Young's modulus within the expected value range.
