Aulas experimentais no ensino de biologia em uma abordagem investigativa sobre nutrição de plantas

Abstract

Topics related to the Biology of Plants are common in teaching, but it is not always possible to deliver a significant learning experience to students. The use of a more contextualized approach, focused on experimental and investigative principles, allows for a more intense development of the students’ competence and abilities. Therefore, the present work uses a scientific methodology to present an experimental approach to teaching Botanic, specifically in the area of mineral plant nutrition. Students were allowed to create an experiment that showed how a lack of nutrients can affect plant development, and thus, relate the topics of plant nutrition and autotrophy. The framework was created with the goal of instructing students on the basic concepts of mineral plant nutrition. Our work was conducted both remotely and in-person. The need for a remote application is associated with the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, and our in-person application was conducted after the end official end of the pandemic. The current work analyzes the proceedings and results in separate parts. Two final works were created by students, both remotely and in-person, in which they connected their newfound botanical knowledge to their particular realities.
