Aplicação de sequência didática para o preparo de caixas entomológicas na Escola Municipal Hilma Dutra, Barreirinha-AM

Abstract

This work was planned to be developed with 55 students of the 8th grade of elementary school, seeking to highlight the importance that the study of the morphology of insects can have for the teaching of Sciences, through their anatomical structures, learned through the construction of entomological boxes.The study of insects is usually done paying little attention to what is consistent with concepts about their physiology, morphology or even their ecology, always highlighting the damage they cause to man. With expository classes in the classroom, collections in the surroundings of the school, in the nearby green areas and the assembly of the entomological boxes, they could observe through images all the structures present in the insects, however, the use of non-formal space was of great relevance in this work, because removing the students from the classroom and taking them to another environment, aroused a significant interest in relation to the work proposed to them, which in the case in question was the construction of the entomological box for the study of the external morphology of insects, these animals being collected by the students themselves. 02 entomological boxes were built in each class of the 8th grade, each of them being constituted of the following orders of the Insecta Class: blatódes, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemipterans, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonates, Orthopterans and Tisanurons.
