Abordagem interdisciplinar no ensino de ciências da natureza: os conceitos de luz e energia a partir do tema gerador fotossíntese

Abstract

This work consists in preparing two proposals for interdisciplinary lessons, Natural Sciences, aimed at high school, to work the light and energy concepts from the photosynthesis generator theme. This work results from undergraduate course of “Interdisciplinar em Educação no Campo, Ciências da Natureza e Agrárias, Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), Campus Laranjeiras do Sul”, and life experiences as a student of its undergraduate course. There have been theoretical foundations as the conceptions of Rural Education, generator theme and interdisciplinarity. Proposals for interdisciplinary lessons were drawn from the research of the sciences involved in generator theme "photosynthesis" and the identification of relationships between the contents in development. We elaborated a concept map and a lesson plan for each proposal, both of which can be developed as a sequence or independently. Different levels of complexity can be explored within the photosynthesis generator theme enabling the integration of disciplines, such as biology, physics and chemistry. The concepts of light and energy were essential to the interrelationship between the topics from these areas and go deep in knowledge of such phenomena involved. The systematic of this work made possible the construction of a model for the implementation of educational activities based on content concepts and interdisciplinary proposals.
