| Abstract | |
One of the best ways to consolidate the experimentation seen in practical Analytical Chemistry classes is to demonstrate to students how the knowledge contained in such discipline is present in everyday situations. Science communication is an important tool that can help in this regard. The aim of this study was to contribute to the learning of students in the discipline 7500030 - Qualitative Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (São Carlos Institute of Chemistry, University of São Paulo) by encouraging the elaboration of popular science texts, aiming to learn, debate, and share the concepts learned during practical classes. In the texts, students should inform which groups of the Periodic Table the cations studied during the semester belonged to and some particularities, such as day-life applications, always in clear and accessible language for a non-specialized audience or for those who are not familiar with such concepts. The students got involved in the project and all the delivered texts met the expectations of the proposed teaching activity, as they can disseminate the knowledge acquired during the practical classes. All groups of cations were addressed, 6 different types of texts were produced, and most students understood the importance of Qualitative Analytical Chemistry in identifying these cations. (AU) | |
