A transição da vida aquática para a vida terrestre em uma proposta com modelos didáticos para o ensino de ciências

Abstract

The present work had as objective to elaborate a proposal of didactic sequence to unify the concepts of Paleontology, Evolution and Zoology, addressing the subject of the transition from the aquatic environment to the terrestrial environment with the use of didactic models, aiming to develop an approach capable of promoting this nified understanding. These areas are naturally interconnected, since by paleontology it is possible to show the species that already existed on the planet and that were extinct, tracing back the Earth's past; since evolution approaches the changes or transformations in the alive beings through the time that they took in the emergence of new species, both provide important subsidies for the teaching of Zoology. He proposed didactic sequence was organized as a didactic material that can be used by teachers of science and biology, directed to the 7th year of elementary school. The sequence was organized from five key questions that foster a chain of ideas capable of incorporating the concepts of the three areas, and presents suggestions of activities that materialize the connection between them from the theme worked, presenting the scientific concepts and the representative species two evolutionary links. The accomplishment of this research made possible a greater understanding on the subject addressed and, therefore, academic growth, besides making possible the construction of didactic material with potential to contribute with ntegrative and attractive teaching practices in science teaching.
