Museu interativo,lúdico e paleontologia uma proposta de ensino interdisciplinar

Abstract

This article presents an interdisciplinary proposal, a museum visit with a seventh grade class from a primary school in the municipal school network of Cachoeirinha (RS), addressing the study of Paleontology. The objective was to provide opportunities for recreational activities through a paleontological adventure in an interactive museum in order to promote learning. According to a methodological point of view, the proposal went through two stages: an interdisciplinary game and the visit to the interactive museum “PUCRS”. The first stage was preparatory, (re)acquisition of prior knowledge about the different areas involved: Mathematics, History, Geography and Biology. In the second one, using the knowledge acquired in the activities, we conducted a questions-challenge game, to be solved using the interactions available in interactive museum. Reports from students showed that the interaction with exhibits and experiments that address the characteristics of the lives of dinosaurs and primitive Earth -generating theme of interest of juveniles- supported by playful activities providing an interesting environment and facilitate learning, as well as encourage the curiosity of the student and stimulate the search for new information.
