Abstract

This project proposes the development and evaluation of teaching materials for teaching Chemistry and Sciences, integrating educational technologies and the STEAM perspective (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). The proposal seeks to align itself with the National Common Curricular Base (NCCB, emphasizing essential skills and abilities for the education of students. The main contents focus on Environmental Chemistry and Green Chemistry, allowing direct connections with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This work plan involves the development of experimental systems focusing on the educational content covered in the material produced. In this way, experiments involving ocean acidification, the development of air and water quality measurement systems, the production of low-cost calorimeters and the production of electrochemical systems will be planned, developed and tested.
