Aulas experimentais de Química: Recursos, ambientes e possibilidades

Abstract

Chemistry, at school, is generally approached in a very simplistic and disconnected from the social reality of students which, consequently, leads to difficulties in their learning. The search for alternatives to the onventional system of teaching shows the need for changes that are inherent to the society of knowledge in continuous development. This work is based on the study related to experimentation in Chemistry teaching, with a view to bringing content taught in the classroom with the reality of students through of experiments that facilitate the interpretation of the world, with the aim of motivating them to learn Chemistry better. It is a consensus that experimental activities make the teaching-learning process more effective awakening in the student an investigative character and, therefore, increasing the knowledge acquired. In this sense, this work refers to the description of the environment for experimental activities at the Antônio Luís State School Bastos, in Uberlândia – MG, The research was characterized by being qualitative, describing the conditions of use of the science laboratory, as a product of this dissertation, we have a manual containing experiments with easily acquired materials and low cost that enable the experimental teaching of chemistry. As a result This work is expected to maximize learning and better understanding of the concepts covered and resolve teachers’ difficulties in use small demonstrative experiments, especially those that are easy to produce.
