Explorando a biologia forense: “desvendando o mistério botânico”

Abstract

With the increase in popularity of investigative series, there has been greater interest in the work of forensic scientists. In this context, the present work aimed to develop a game about Forensic Biology with an emphasis on Botany for teaching Science and Biology in informal teaching spaces, with the aim of awakening interest in the topic and promoting more meaningful learning, both in classroom and informal spaces. The work has an exploratory nature, as it aimed to develop and clarify concepts and ideas of Forensic Botany, in addition to being applied in nature, as a game was created as a teaching tool. It is concluded from this work that the use of educational games is an effective strategy to make Science and Biology teaching more attractive and meaningful. Furthermore, the use of games as a teaching tool shows promise for teaching in informal spaces, providing a dynamic and stimulating approach for students.
