Expoquímica das sensações: comunicação e divulgação científica para a sociedade

Abstract

The present work presents some topics that evidence the relationship between chemistry and the sense organs, through experiences of scientific insight. Such experiences stimulate and arouse students' interest in the area of science, sharpening curiosity and demystifying the idea that Science/Chemistry is a complex and boring area. Therefore, the main objective of this course conclusion work is to show experiences that can be easily carried out in formal education environments such as classrooms of school institutions, and also in non-formal and informal education environments such as shopping malls, public squares and science centers, aiming at popularization and scientific dissemination for the whole society. In order to achieve the desired goal, a bibliographic review was carried out, seeking to address concepts and definitions of some authors on the term scientific dissemination. A search was also carried out on academic google about science fairs and about each sensation relating them to the teaching of Chemistry and Science fairs in the period from 2010 to 2020, the results obtained were passed in the form of a table to Excel and later converted into graphics in order to facilitate visualization. Through the results obtained, it was possible to perceive that scientific dissemination is an effective means for teaching chemistry.
