The modern and contemporary physics constitute a highly developed scientific field, being the theoretical basis for the operation of numerous devices and thus producing a vast range of applications used in everyday life in today's society. There are several problems associated with the inclusion of these subjects in secondary education, among which one can mention the costs of implanting laboratories with experiments in modern physics topics for all public schools. In addition to such costs there is also the need for teacher preparation. As well as a methodological teaching strategy that allows the discussion of such topics with the students guaranteeing the learning. In order to contribute to the research related to the production and use of didactic resources for the teaching of modern physics, the present work presents the following problem a remote access laboratory for experiments of Modern and Contemporary Physics (FMC), as a didactic resource could To act as a facilitator for learning in the curricular component of Modern Physics in High School? In order to answer this guiding question, we established for this research the general objective of investigating the pedagogical potential of a remote access laboratory for the teaching of Modern and Contemporary Physics (FMC) in High School. In order to achieve the above general objective, we set out the specific objectives of our work: To identify through FMC teaching activities the influence of the use of a remote access laboratory in the development of the experimental activity with third year students Secondary education next to curricular component Physics; To analyze the use of experimental activities as a methodological strategy to provide benefits for learning FMC concepts. The proposed laboratory was built at the Campus of the State University of Maringá, together with the Department of Physics, with resources from the LIFE / CAPES project. In this lab the teacher has the possibility to conduct experiments in modern physics and observe the results without the need to go to university. The experiment used in this investigation was a cloud chamber. The teaching sequence used ensured actions delineated by the description-execution-reflection-debug cycle proposed by the constructional theory of Valente and Papert. During the actions were conducted interviews with the teachers and questionnaires were applied to the participating students. The transcribed responses were analyzed using the Discursive Textual Analysis technique, these answers allowed to verify how potential of use of the remote access laboratory as facilitator of the inclusion of topics of FMC in High School.
