This work corresponds to a Master research that has as a research field a classroom of 1st year of high school a public school in the state schools in the city of Presidente Prudente/São Paulo, Brazil. The main objective is to investigate the contribution of the use of Educational Objects (OE) in physics classes to the inclusion process, using as tool the Banco Internacional de Objetos Educacionais. For this, we seek to achieve the following objectives: to analyze how the OE can be inserted in physics classes, based on the Curriculum Official of São Paulo, to analyze whether the OE pre-selected contemplate accessibility, favoring its use by students with disabilities, to analyze whether the selected OE contribute to the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in the process of teaching and learning of physics. Due to resources as audio, image, dynamic situations and opportunities to perform practical experiences and working together, the preliminary results indicate that the OE selected from evaluation criteria pre-defined can contribute not only with the school inclusion of all students but also to social inclusion, particularly for students with disabilities.
