O uso do programa chemsketch no ensino de funções orgânica para alunos de terceiro ano do ensino médio

Abstract

The subject of organic functions with their molecular representation, for having a very important role in the understanding of naming chemical structures, takes away the sleep of many high school teachers in front of their students due to the difficulty in modeling structures. Noting that there is a lack of didactic support for the classes and a dismay of the students when it comes to chemistry in the third year of high school, a stimulus should be given to teachers to favor the teaching-learning process, with the intention of also placing in the face of practical situations that introduce technological resources (images and videos), favoring a more interesting form of knowledge appropriation. Thus, the objective of the work was to facilitate the learning of chemistry with a focus on molecular representation, using a molecular modeling program, as well as to provide a multimedia tool that helps in its use. The chemsketch program was applied at the Irene Garrido State College, where we obtained excellent results favoring the understanding of the subject of nomenclature.
