O despertar para a polinização: uma proposta de sequência didática para os anos finais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The pollination process is the transfer of pollen between two plants, which will result in the formation of flowers, fruits and seeds, guaranteeing the separation of the species. Among the pollinating insects, bees are noteworthy, as they are the largest group of pollinators and comprise about 48% of the total species identified as floral visitors to crops linked to food production. Given the need to disseminate this information and contribute to the preservation of pollinators, this work was developed with the aim of developing a didactic sequence as a proposal to work with elementary school students, final years, on the ecological, economic and social value of pollination and pollinating agents. To achieve the proposed objective, it is suggested that the teacher use five classes to develop the didactic sequence, which includes four steps. For the first stage, a sequence of questions was elaborated to expose the subject; in the second stage, the lecture through slides; the third stage was a suggestion of questions for the performance of the Pass or Repass game; on the fourth, the construction of the didactic garden in order to put into practice the learning in the classroom, which can be used for other subjects. Thus, this study sought, through a didactic sequence, to demonstrate the ecological, economic and social importance of the process of pollination and pollinating agents, targeting students in elementary school II, final years. Thus, it is expected that those involved understand the value of pollination and its agents, as well as being able to disseminate the knowledge acquired during the stages, whether in the community or family environment.
