In this work we present historical aspects of some physicists, philosophers and mathematicians who developed the study of the trajectory of projectiles launched in the vacuum, we also highlight situations of the main nations involved in the invention and development of rockets, besides being treated physical concepts on the oblique launch of projectiles. We also emphasize the importance of the method of teaching by research as one of the tools to overcome traditional classes, aiming at the teaching-learning process centered on the student, He himself, an active subject in their studies and the teacher playing the role of mediator. We experienced two activities; the first one was the use of PhET (Physics Education Technology) a Software of computer simulation for the study of the launching of projectiles in the vacuum associated with the investigative method, with the aim of the students seeking to develop their hypotheses, collect, analyze the data, and then discuss in groups to reach learning. In the second activity, a workshop about construction and launching of plastic bottle rocket was proposed, aiming to complement the first activity, in relation to obtaining experimental data, their analysis, discussion and comparison. This research sought to verify if the application of the activity with the simulator and another experiment involving the construction and the plastic bottle rockets lauch would improve the learning of the physical concepts approached in the proposed experiments, aiming at the implementation of physics teaching in high school.
