A polinização em uma prática educativa em uma escola de Ituiutaba-MG

Abstract

The use of experimental classes for teaching science and biology is extremely important for student development and learning. The National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC) emphasizes the importance of studying ecology and its aspects in order to enable students to be more critical and aware. In view of these analyses, this work aimed to create an experimental dynamic to explain the phenomenon of pollination. As part of the Supervised Internship III course, an educational exercise was carried out on the importance of pollination, a relevant ecological interaction in nature, with 9th grade students at a state school in the city of Ituiutaba-MG in April 2024. The experimental practice took place during class time and was divided into three parts: a theoretical lesson, a visit to the school premises and a laboratory lesson. The lecture covered pollination, on the school premises the students observed flowering plants and visiting insects and in the laboratory the students observed pollen under a microscope and an insect to identify the organs used in pollination. After carrying out the activities, the students were subjected to a dialogical evaluation to check the effectiveness of the dynamics. The results showed that most students understood the importance of pollination for plant reproduction and the maintenance of ecosystems. In addition, the students showed great interest and engagement in the activities, which indicates the relevance of experimentation for meaningful learning.
