Abstract
DE FREITAS ACIPRESTE, Izabella; DE ESQUIVEL DIAS BRANDAO, Lucas; ORNELAS AMORIM, Danielle and DINIZ MONTEIRO DE BARROS, Marcelo. An Association Between the Science Teaching and Brazilian Coins. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2021, n.49, pp.143-162. Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 0121-3814. https://doi.org/10.17227/ted.num49-10463.
We suggest with this study a differentiated way of working science teaching. With a possible approximation between art, culture and science, it becomes possible to promote a greater interest of students in science teaching. We aim to investigate which coins have the potential to be used in science teaching. Thus, investigative research was carried out in the Brazilian homepage: http://www.moedasdobrasil.com.br/moedas/index.asp and a total of 29 different coins were selected, whose potential for use in science teaching is great. With these coins, teachers can discuss numerous contents with their students, such as the zoological and religious aspects of birds, the content of botany interconnected with Brazil's history, the importance of healthy food education, the damages caused by the use of pesticides in the environment, aspects related to the zoology of fishes, the content of Earth and Universe, among others, as endangered animals of the Brazilian fauna. As coins carry the history of Brazil, we also perceive an opportunity to promote interdisciplinarity and transversality between the contents of history and science disciplines, contributing so that the different pieces of knowledge are studied jointly.
