Proposta de sequência de atividades sobre magnetismo para a educação infantil

Abstract

This proposal presents a sequence of activities focused on teaching magnetism in Early Childhood Education, grounded in the theories of Vygotsky and Jean Piaget and aligned with the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) guidelines. The objective is to introduce the concept of magnetism in a playful manner through games and experiments that stimulate the natural curiosity of 4- to 5-year-old children. The proposed activities use magnets and other materials, allowing children to explore attraction and repulsion phenomena while fostering cognitive development and scientific literacy. Through inquiry-based activities, children are encouraged to test hypotheses and learn through experimentation. The proposal integrates magnetism into children’s daily lives, promoting meaningful learning while respecting child agency, as guided by the BNCC. Furthermore, it supports the development of socioemotional and cognitive skills by creating an environment where play and investigation are essential for holistic development.
