Elaboração de uma cartilha educativa para o ensino de química dos alimentos

Abstract

The ability to teach through investigative activities has taken the perspective of teaching chemistry, in a movement to combine scientific knowledge with school knowledge, obtaining a transformation in the traditional method of teaching. The aspects that cause this scenario in Basic Education are diverse, but we can highlight the lack of interest on the part of students, added to the lack of practical classes and didactic materials that aim to facilitate this learning. It is observed that some specific themes need to be worked with paradidmatic materials. This paper presents a proposal for the elaboration of an Educational Booklet in order to contextualize the teaching of Chemistry through the theme Food. In its preparation, topics such as the importance of food and the classification of nutrients in chemical composition (Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Vitamins, Mineral Salts and Water) were explained, showing how this science is close to us and contributes to the improvement of life and well-being. To this end, bibliographic research, didactic transfer of scientific contents and the constitution of the booklet were performed. The present work concluded that tasks that apply primer can reflect the differential for the teaching of subjects related to the area of chemistry, especially Food Chemistry, in a way more attainable to students and society in general.
