In this research paper we present the conclusions resulting from the project "Teaching free fall under the active learning methodology - AIM." The purpose of this work is to share the results of implementing the Didactic Unit for teaching free fall in the tenth grade designed under the ALM (Active Learning Methodology); the guiding methodology of the project was action research. The unit was planned, executed, analyzed and evaluated through the cyclic process in which this methodology is grounded, and adjustments were made to its design based on the results obtained. The proposal was implemented in class 10-1 of Institución Educativa Emiliano Restrepo Echavarría in the municipality of Restrepo (Meta, Colombia). In order to analyze the effectiveness of the methodology used, we worked with the learning gain or Hake factor, finding that, on a global scale level, a medium conceptual learning gain was obtained, given that students are able to relate the variables of time and speed of fall to the free fall movement, arguing how a body gains speed as it falls and how the time of fall is approximately the same for bodies that are released from the same height and at the same time.
